12:05pm, Monday 4 December: St Peter Chrysologus

11:00am Adoration and Confessions

Saint Peter Chrysologus was a bishop of Ravenna from about 433 until his death in 450. He was born in Imola, Italy in 380 and was baptized, educated, and ordained a deacon by Cornelius, Bishop of Imola. He is known as the “Doctor of Homilies” for the concise but theologically rich reflections he delivered during his time as the Bishop of Ravenna. He practiced many corporal and spiritual works of mercy and ruled his flock with utmost diligence and care. He is credited as the author of around 176 surviving homilies, which contributed to his later proclamation as a Doctor of the Church.
