Adalgott of Disentis

Holy Venerable Adalgott of Disentis was a monk at Einsiedeln and, from 1012 or 1016, abbot of Disentis in Switzerland. He reposed on 1 November 1031. He is a saint of the undivided Church.

He laboured for monastic reform and the ordering of the liturgy. According to the chronicler of Einsiedeln, who preserved a verse epitaph, he was acclaimed a saint immediately after his death. In 1672 his relics were enshrined, together with those of Adalgott II (died in the 12th century, a Cistercian and bishop of Chur), in a new church of the abbey. The two are sometimes confused in later writing, though they lived about 130 years apart.

He is commemorated on 26 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
