March 26 Saint Ludger of Utrecht

St. Ludger was a priest in the Netherlands in the 700s. He traveled around starting monasteries, returning every Fall to Ultrect to teach in the local school. He is best known for two amazing facts.

1) He was reprimanded only once during his life as a priest. As bishop he was reprimanded and renounced for spending too much time on charity work rather than on building and decorating the cathedral.

2) On the day he died he celebrated Mass. Twice.
