Feast day: June 6

St. Norbert

Bishop, Founder · c. 1080–1134

Patron of Against false accusations

A worldly German courtier thrown from his horse in a storm and converted, who became a barefoot wandering preacher, founded the Premonstratensian order, and was made archbishop of Magdeburg.

Struck from his horse by lightning and spared, he gave away his wealth and became a reformer of clergy and a famed promoter of devotion to the Eucharist.
