Life

Saint Hidulf of Trier (in Latin Hidulphus) was born at Regensburg in Germany and was a monk at the monastery of Saint Maximinus in Trier. The calendar calls him, in the opinion of some, bishop of Trier, and founder of Moyenmoutier Abbey. He was later consecrated bishop, but about the year 676 he founded the monastery of Moyenmoutier in the Vosges in the east of France and lived there. When he reposed, in 707, he was abbot of both Moyenmoutier and Bonmoutier (Galilaea, afterwards called Saint-⁠Dié).

He is commemorated on 11 July among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar. He is not to be confused with Saint Hidulf of Hainaut, commemorated on 23 June.

Commemorated the same day July 11
