Ghislain

Saint Ghislain (Gislenus, Guislain) was a hermit in a forest in Hainaut in Belgium, where several disciples gathered around him. He built the monastery of Saints Peter and Paul, now Saint-⁠Ghislain near Mons, and was its abbot for thirty years. He reposed in 680. He is commemorated on 9 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
