Apolgies for omitting St.Ita of Limerick yesterday!
We don’t know too much about today’s saint except that St.Fursey was an Irish monastic founder, the brother of Sts. Foillan and Ulan, praised by St. Bede. In 630 Fursey and his friends went to East Anglia, England, where he founded a monastery near Ugremouth on land donated by King Sigebert. In his later years, Fursey went to France to build a monastery at Lagny, near Paris, France. He was buried in Picardy. St. Bede and others wrote about Fursey%uFFFDs intense ecstasies.
