Saint Gerard of Csanád was an Italian-born Benedictine monk who became a missionary and bishop in Hungary. He left his homeland to seek a life of prayer, but Divine Providence led him to serve the newly evangelized Hungarian people.
As the first Bishop of Csanád, Gerard organized the Church, formed clergy, taught the faith, and preached the Gospel with courage. He was killed while traveling to oppose a pagan uprising and is honored as a martyr and one of the principal evangelizers of Hungary.
