Okay, so I really did not know who to write about today. I started browsing and marveling at all the unusual Saints' names that you never hear about these days and then remembered one of my Brother-in-law's friends saying that he chose St. Wolfgang as his confirmation saint just because he liked the name.
St. Wolfgang actually fulfills my earlier quest for a German Saint. He was born in Swabia, Germany and entered a Benedictine Monastery receiving ordination in 971. He was named Bishop of Regensburg the following year and distinguished himself as a reformer and statesman. He also served as tutor to Emperor Henry II. His feast day is October 31.
