In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we recount the remarkable story of St. Donatus, an Irish pilgrim who journeyed to Rome in the early 9th century. On his return, divine providence led him to Fiesole, Tuscany — where a miraculous sign from heaven made him the unexpected choice for bishop.

Though humble and unassuming, St. Donatus of Fiesole became a beacon of holiness, wisdom, and learning. Known for his poetry, his devotion, and his love for both Ireland and Italy, St. Donatus was greatly esteemed by kings and clergy alike. His feast is celebrated every year on October 22, especially throughout Ireland.

🙏 Highlights from this episode:

The miraculous signs during his election as bishop

His deep faith and sanctity as a shepherd of souls

His literary works and praise for Ireland’s beauty

His legacy as a link between Irish and Italian Christianity
