Icon of St. Cadoc, Monastic
Father
Feast: September 25.
St. Cadoc was Welsh and the
son of St. Gundleus and St. Gladys. He was educated by St. Tatheus at
Caerwent, then became a monk, founded a monastery at Llancarvan near
Cardiff, and went to Ireland and Brecknock to study. He returned to
Llancarvan as abbot, visited Brittany, Cornwall, and Scotland, and made
pilgrimages to Rome and to Jerusalem. Holy Father Cadoc, pray to God
for us!
