Saint Asicus

First bishop of the diocese of Elphin in Ireland.
Disciple of Saint Patrick.
Asicus is also called Ascicus, Assic and Tassach. He was a Coppersmith and silversmith. He was married when he first met Saint Patrick for whom he made crosiers, patens, chalices, credences and crosses for the many churches Saint Patrict founded. In time, he was made the first abbot and bishop of Elphin Monastery in the diocese of Elphin, Ireland in Roscommon.( According to Dictionary of Saints by John J. Delaney, Saint Asicus was the first bishop of Raholp Down, Ireland). A very humble man, he believed himself not worthy of the office; consequently, he went to an island in Donegal Bay where he became a hermit. After seven years, the monks of Elphin found him and persuaded him to return to the monastery. He died on the return journey in 490 at Raith Cungilor
(Racoon), Donega.l
According to Dictionary of Saints by John J. Delaney, Asicus gave the last rites to Saint Patrick when the latter was dying.

Sts. Lucidius and Asicus pray for us!
It's also St. Peter Canisius' day on the traditional calendar. :D
'The heretics have made their false theology popular and presented it in a way that is within the capacity of the common people. They preach it to the people and teach it in the schools, and scatter pamphlets that can be bought and understood by many; they influence people by their writings when they cannot reach them by preaching. Their success is largely due to the negligence of those who should have shown some interest, and the bad example and the ignorance of Catholics, especially the clergy, have made such ravages in the vineyard of the Lord.'
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 'Letter to St. Peter Canisius'
'It behooves us unanimously and inviolably to observe the ecclesiastical traditions, whether codified or simply retained by the customary practice of the Church.'
St. Peter Canisius
