Life
Saint Anthony du Rocher lived in the sixth century as a hermit in Gaul. By tradition he was a disciple of Saint Benedict and a companion of Saint Maurus in his mission to France, and he founded the monastery of Saint Julian at Tours. He is called du Rocher because he ended his days as a hermit at a place called Le Rocher. He is commemorated on 4 May.
