Saint Peter Gonzalez

Saint Peter Gonzalez , 1190-1246, Spanish Dominican priest. He worked first among the Moors, then among the mariners of NW Spain. As a patron of sailors he acquired the name St. Elmo, perhaps in confusion with an earlier mariners' saint of that name, a 4th-century martyr. Saint Elmo's fire was regarded as a mark of his protection. Feast: Apr. 14.

Elmo, St (in Spain, ‘San Telmo’). The popular name of Bl Peter Gonzalez (c.1190–1246). Having joined the Dominicans, he accompanied Ferdinand III's campaign against the Moors of Andalucia; he spent the last ten years of his life preaching in NW Spain and N. Portugal. He was regarded as the special patron of seafarers; probably for this reason he was given the name of an earlier patron of theirs, St Erasmus, known as Ermo or Elmo, a martyr in the Diocletianic persecution. Feast day, 14 Apr.
