Saint Werenfridus

Saint Werenfridus, also known as Wer(e)nfred, was an 8th-century Benedictine monk hailing from Northumbria, England. As a devoted follower of Christ, he pursued a life of solitude and study as a hermit in Ireland. However, he was called to fulfill a higher purpose and became a missionary priest to the Frisian people in what is now modern-day Netherlands, as well as parts of northern France.
