His parents, as a part of their prayers to God, pledged to place the child into Divine service as a monk should he survive.

St Willibald experienced a miraculous cure and studied to become a monk.

At one point he was tasked to become a Bishop.

Because he had a diplomatic nature, he successfully handled situations between various challenges from the different pressures of a pilgrim church in Eichstätt, Germania.

The church in Eichstätt thrived under his guidance.
