In this episode of The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we honor Saint Pirmin (also known as St. Perus) — the pioneering missionary and founder of the Benedictine Abbey of Reichenau in 724. A native of southern Gaul or Spain, St. Pirmin fled the Moors and became one of the great evangelizers of early medieval Germany. His missionary work across Lake Constance, Alsace, and Franconia helped establish Christianity in the region, influencing both faith and culture for centuries.

This video recounts his life, from restoring monasteries destroyed by invaders to his exile and final years as a founder of new abbeys — including Amorbach and Murbach. Despite claims in the Roman Martyrology, St. Pirmin was never Bishop of Meaux. He passed away in 753, leaving behind a legacy of devotion, scholarship, and Christian expansion.

📅 Feast Day: November 3
🏰 Patron of: Missionaries, Monastic founders, German evangelization
