Feast day: September 6
St. Magnus of Füssen
A monk who carried the faith into the wild Allgäu region of the Alps, clearing forests, founding the abbey of Füssen, and becoming the great local saint of the high country.
Country folk of the Alps long invoked him against vermin, pests, and storms that threatened the harvest — the 'Apostle of the Allgäu.'
