Pardulphus of Guéret

Saint Pardulphus of Guéret (Pardoux) was born around 658 at Sardent near Guéret in France. He lived first as a hermit, then entered the monastery at Guéret and became its abbot. When the Saracens invaded, he remained alone in the monastery and saved it through his prayers. He reposed in 738. He is commemorated on 6 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
