Wasnulf

Saint Wasnulf (Wasnon, Wasnan) was an Irish or Scottish missionary priest who laboured in Hainaut, in present-⁠day Belgium. He reposed around 650 or 651 and was buried at Condé-⁠sur-⁠l'Escaut, of which he is patron.

According to older writers, many monks from Ireland and Scotland came to the Low Countries in the seventh century, invited by Count Vincent of Hainaut, and among them Wasnulf was the best known. He was a priest and preacher, not a bishop, though some writers give him that rank. His labours are said to have been accompanied by miracles. His relics were kept in a collegiate church at Condé. He is commemorated on 1 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
