Feast day: May 28
St. Bernard of Montjoux
An archdeacon who for forty years served the people of the Alps and built hospices on the high, deadly passes to shelter and rescue travelers crossing the mountains.
The Alpine passes, the hospices, and the famous rescue dogs all bear his name — he is the patron saint of mountaineers and skiers.
