Saint Parisius

Saint Parisius, also known as Parisio (Italian), was a Camaldolese monk and spiritual director who lived from approximately 1160 to 1260. Born either in Treviso or Bologna, at the age of twelve, he entered the Camaldolese order. After being ordained a priest in 1191, Parisius was appointed as the spiritual director of the nuns at the Monastery of St. Christina in Treviso. He held this position for the rest of his life, serving as a guide and mentor to the religious sisters for seventy years. Many miracles were attributed to his intercession during his lifetime, and he is also reported to have possessed the gift of prophecy. After Parisius's death, he was buried in the Cathedral of St. Peter in Treviso.
