Bishop
Learn from the kind of life it was. A shepherd who stayed with his people through hard times.
Keep their day. Remember them on December 10 with a short prayer, and ask for their help.
Feast: September 11
Traditional: December 10
One short email a day for nine days. The day's prayer, a line from St. Deiniol of Bangor's story, and a nudge to keep going.
