Life
Venerable Eusebius of St Gall was born in Ireland and was a monk at the monastery of St Gall in Switzerland and later a hermit on Mount Saint Victor in the Vorarlberg. While he was denouncing the godlessness of the people, he was struck with a scythe and killed, in the year 884. For this reason he was venerated as a martyr. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 31 January (new calendar).
