Willibrord, St (658–739), ‘Apostle of Frisia’. A Northumbrian, he spent 12 years in an Anglo-Saxon religious community in
Ireland. In 690 he went as a missionary to W. Frisia. On a visit to Rome in 693 he gained Papal support for his mission, and on a second visit in 695 he was consecrated Abp. of the Frisians.
Pepin gave him a site for his cathedral outside Utrecht, and in 698 he founded the monastery of
Echternach. His work extended to
Denmark, Heligoland, and Thuringia. Feast day, 7 Nov.
The Society of St Willibrord, founded
c.1910, exists to foster relations between the C of E and the
Old Catholic Churches.
