AMBROSE of AGAUNE, two monks both named Ambrose, who served as Abbots of the Abbey of St. Maurice (abbaye de Saint-Maurice d'Agaune) in present-day Saint-Maurice-en-Valais, Switzerland. The first St. Ambrose's repose has been listed as both 516 and 523, and the second in 582.

AMICUS of FONTE AVELLANA, a priest, hermit, and monk at the Venerable Hermitage of the Holy Cross (Monastero di Fonte Avellana) in present-day Serra Sant'Abbondio in the Marche region of central Italy. St. Amicus reposed circa 1045.

BAYA of SCOTLAND and MAURA of SCOTLAND, (Tenth Century), St. Baya was an anchoress on the Isle of Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. Her fellow anchoress and disciple, St. Maura lived at Killmaur in Ayrshire. In time, a community of monastics grew around St. Maura and she served as its abbess. It is possible that St. Baya is the same person as St. Bega (6th September).

DOMNINUS of GRENOBLE, (Late Fourth Century), the first historically verifiable Bishop of Grenoble (south-eastern France). St. Domninus was one of the thirty-two bishops in attendance at the Council of Aquileia in 381.

ERC (ERTH, HERYGH, URITH), (in Cornwall 31st October), St. Erc mac Dega (Latin: Ercus; Cornish: Erth) is believed to have been a pagan druid converted by St. Patrick of Ireland (17th March), who later consecrated him first Bishop of Slane, Co. Meath, Ireland. According to tradition, St. Erc founded the original Abbey on the Hill of Slane as well as the school at Slane Abbey, where St. Dagobert II, King of Austrasia (France) (r. 675–679) (23rd December) is believed to have received part of his early education. St. Erc was also a friend and tutor of St. Brendan the Voyager (16th May).

Around 450 St. Erc was chosen by St. Patrick to continue St. Benignus of Armagh's (9th November) evangelisation of Co. Kerry, when the later was sent to Northern Co. Clare and the present-day Province of Connaught. Initially St. Erc's jurisdiction appears to have included a large part of south-west Co. Limerick, including the monastery of St. Ita of Killeedy (15th January) at Killeedy. Shortly before his repose, St. Patrick expanded the area over which St. Erc was responsible to include Co. Cork, thereby placing most, if not all, of the area that comprises present-day Province of Munster under St. Erc’s supervision.

St. Erth of Cornwall is generally believed to be the same man as St. Erc. Brother of SS. Unni of Bremen (17th September) and Ia of Cornwall (3rd February), he is thought to have crossed from Ireland to Cornwall, where a church and the village of St. Erth are dedicated to him. This is based upon local tradition, supported only by fifteenth-century English chronicler and antiquary, William of Worcester (†c. 1482): “Saint Herygh, the brother of Saint Uny, a bishop, lies in a certain church situated under the cross of the church of St. Paul in London; his day is kept on the vigil of All Saints, that is, the last day of October ... Saint Hya ... the sister of Saint Herygh ...” Herygh is an incorrect corruption of St. Erc’s name, and the reference to St. Paul’s is undoubtedly the result of confusing St. Erc with St. Erconwald of London (30th April).

St. Erc spent the last years of his life in prayer and solitude at a hermitage in Slane. According to the Annals of Ulster, St. Erc reposed on 2nd November 512. His feast is kept on 2nd November in Ireland and on the calendar of the Moscow Patriarchate, and on 31st October in Cornwall.

ARNULF, the twenty-eighth Bishop of Toul in the north-east of present-day France. St. Arnulf served this See from 847 until his repose in 871. He was one of the ecclesiastics who opposed King Lothair II’s attempts to have his marriage dissolved.

DESIDERIUS, the thirteenth Bishop of Cahors, St. Desiderius succeeded his brother Rusticus to the See in 630 by request of the inhabitants. He served as Bishop until his repose in 655. As Bishop St. Desiderius fostered the growth of monasticism and was responsible for the building of three basilicas in his diocese.
