Saint Albert of Cashel

Memorial
19 January
formerly 8 January
Profile
Evangelist in Ireland, especially around the city of Cashel, and may have been a bishop. Noted as an excellent preacher being "by race an Angle, in speech an angel." Evangelized in Bavaria with Saint Erhard. Pilgrim to Jerusalem, dying on the journey home. Some accounts list him as archbishop of Cashel, but that diocese did not exist in his day, and this is apparently an inference by later writers.
