Saint of the Day Quote: Saint Erlafrid

Count of Calw, on the north of the Black Forest in the present-day German state of Baden-Württemberg. St. Erlafrid founded the Abbey of SS. Peter and Paul (Kloster Hirsau) at Calw in the present-day German state of Baden-Württemberg at the suggestion of his son Noting, who at the time was Bishop of Vercelli in northern Italy. Most sources state St. Erlafrid, at some point received monastic tonsure at the Abbey, and later served as its Abbot.
