St. Evergistus, Bishop of Cologne (24 October): Butler's Lives of the Saints

Published 5 hours ago

Join us for another inspiring episode of The Lives of the Saints with Father Albin Butler.
Today we reflect on St. Evergistus (Evaristus) of Cologne, whose faith, humility, and service shine as an enduring example of Christian devotion.

Learn how St. Evergistus, once a devoted child guided by St. Severinus, became Bishop of Cologne and lived a life marked by holiness, education, and divine encounters. Discover the story of his service, miracles, and the reverent legends surrounding his death — as recorded by the Roman Martyrology and St. Gregory of Tours.
