448- St Winebald, ‘bro’ to Willibald & Valpurga

St. Winebald’s story is the final of the 6 saints from an English family who lived in the 700’s.

He was the son of St Wuna and St Richard of Wessex.

And the nephew of St Boniface.

He was also the older brother to St. Willibald and sister St Valpurga.

He studied to become a monk while in Rome and returned to

England to recruit others to take to Rome in order for them

to also dedicate their lives to God.

But he eventually found himself in Germania and

also became a priest in order to help his uncle

St. Boniface, brother St Willibald and

sister St Valpurga with their missions there.
