Feast day: July 2
St. Otto of Bamberg
A German bishop and able statesman who twice journeyed into pagan Pomerania and, by patience and generosity rather than force, won the whole region to the faith.
Where armed crusades had failed, he baptized tens of thousands by going unarmed, learning the people's needs, and earning the name 'Apostle of Pomerania.'
