Saint Mellitus, Archbishop of Canterbury

Berkeley, Thursday, April 17, 2026 2:36 am

Feast day: April 24

Day 1: Thu April 17 2:36 am. The name of the job position itself has some good flavor and uniqueness itself. Saint Mellitus was alive around the years 600s. He died on 624. He was a Roman abbot, probably from the monastery of Saint Andrew, whom Pope Saint Gregory the Great dispatched to England in 601 at the head of second band of missionaries to assist Saint Augustine (of Canterbury?) The answer to the position is yes, by Google search, missing in the great reference [1]… More to follow on next days.

Gregorian chants are from the times of Pope Saint Gregory the Great (?)

Saint Mellitus, flag carrier of the Lord’s Word, faith, and from the Vatican missions, founder or bearer of faith in a new territory until your own office was split by literal divorce from La Roca (Piedra), Peter’s seat about a millennia after you were alive. Guide me with that zeal on this intense day to day life, while I can.
