St. Raymond of Toulouse
July 3
Raymond of Toulouse, also known as Raymond Gayrard, was a chanter and canon renowned for generosity. A native of Toulouse, who entered religious life after the death of his wife, he became a canon of St. Sernin, Toulouse, helping to rebuild the church which became a popular place for pilgrims.
After his death on 3 July 1118, many miracles were reported at his tomb and he was beatified in 1652 by Pope Innocent X. (Pictured is the crypt of St. Raymond and other saints of Toulouse.)
