Read a life. Make space for prayer. Carry one good thing into your day.
September 2From the feast-day calendar
01 · Read · A life to discover
Agricol was a bishop of Avignon who had earlier followed the monastic life at Lérins. The Martyrology account presents him as an assistant to his father, the bishop Magnus, before succeeding him. His episcopal ministry maintained a connection with the monks of Lérins and their spiritual formation.
The Church of Avignon continued to preserve his memory, and he later became patron of the city. These local traditions show how the service of a bishop could remain significant to a community long after his death. Nominis identifies him as a Catholic saint, reproduces the Martyrology notice and records September 2 as his commemoration. His death is placed around the year 700, without an exact birth date.
September 2 is a Catholic commemoration recorded by Nominis. This daily reading does not determine the Mass or liturgical rank; local calendars and higher-ranking celebrations can differ.
Explore the biography & sourcesWhen several saints share a date, this guide first favors saints on the USCCB’s U.S. calendar, then other documented Catholic commemorations. Dates can vary by place and tradition. This is a discovery guide, not the official liturgical calendar for your parish; the liturgical banner follows the celebration for the year. The date browser includes February 29 for leap years.
