St. Robert of Newminster: The Zealous and Joyful Monk

Awaken the Saint

Seeking greater asceticism, Robert was ordained a priest, became a Benedictine, and joined a small group of monks dedicated to the most severe practices of their order. Living with practically nothing but full of joy he and his little band of monks established the abbey of Newminster. Eventually, he became so well known for his faith and zeal that all the monks wanted to emulate him.

Saint Robert of Newminster 1100 - 1059. Feast day: June 7.
