St. Palladius, Apostles of the Scots (6 July): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Long before St. Patrick became the great evangelizer of Ireland, another missionary was sent by the Pope to preach Christ to the Scots. In this episode from Fr. Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints, we explore the remarkable life of St. Palladius, the Roman deacon chosen by Pope St. Celestine I to become the first bishop sent to the Scots believing in Christ. Discover the forgotten story of this courageous missionary whose apostolic labors helped prepare the ground for the flourishing of Christianity throughout Ireland and Scotland. Learn about his connection with St. Germanus of Auxerre, the battle against the Pelagian heresy, the earliest Christian communities in Ireland, and the enduring legacy of one of the Church's great but often overlooked missionaries. This inspiring account reminds us that the Gospel spread through the heroic sacrifices of countless saints whose names are little remembered today, yet whose labors changed the course of history.
