Life

Saint Vincent of Montes was a Benedictine monk, perhaps of the monastery of Ageum at Ayoó de Vidriales, and later abbot of the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, near Ponferrada in the El Bierzo region of Spain. He lived in the 10th century. Together with Gennadius of Astorga he worked actively on the rebuilding of the church; San Pedro de Montes was then in ruins. For the holiness of his life he was buried in the church of the monastery of Montes.

His day of commemoration is 9 May, by the Western calendar (new style). He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
