Saint Amand of Maastricht
Also known as
Memorial
Profile
Lived
some time as a hermit, then became a monk at age 20 at the Abbey
of Saint Martin at Tours, France. When he took the cowl, his
family tried to kidnap him to bring him home for “deprogramming”, but
failed. Given a commission to wander and preach, he evangelized in France, Flanders, Carinthia,
Gascony, and Germany, sometimes getting beaten by the locals for his
trouble. Bishop of Maastricht, Netherlands in 649.
Founded several monasteries and convents. Abbot of
the monastery at Elnone-en-Pevele, France. Friend and spiritual
director of Saint Humbert of Pelagius, and was assisted in his work
by Saint Acharius. In his declining years he retired to Elnon
Abbey, where he was the spiritual teacher of Saint Chrodobald of
Marchiennes, and ended his days as a prayerful monk. His association
with brewers and vintners and related fields comes from
spending so much time preaching and teaching in beer-making
and wine-making regions.
