Willibald, St (c.700–786)

English missionary. He was sent to Germany to help his cousin St Boniface convert the populace to Christianity. Boniface installed him as bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria in 742. He later founded a monastery and convent at Heidenheim. Willibald was canonized in 938, and his feast is on 7 July.

Willibald was born in Wessex, and took monastic vows at Waltham Abbey. Later he went on pilgrimage to Rome and the Holy Land, returning to Italy to study at Monte Cassino. After his death his sister, St Walburga, became abbess of Heidenheim.
