St Malachy
Thursday 3rd November
St Malachy was the Archbishop of Armagh, to whom
were attributed several miracles and a vision of the
identity of the last 112 popes. Born in Armagh in
1094, he purged and reorganised the Irish Church and
brought it more closely in line with the reforms begun
under Pope Gregory VII. A zealous reformer and a
promoter of monasticism, he died in the arms of St
Bernard of Clairvaux on November 2, 1148.
