Roman Catholic bishop
Feast: 6 June (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Udine, Blessed Bertram, bishop of Aquileia and martyr, who took careful care over the formation of the clergy, fed the poor at his own expense in time of famine, strenuously defended the rights of his Church, and died in his nineties, struck down by hired assassins.
The miracles
The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 6 June as a bishop of Aquileia who fed the poor in famine and was killed by assassins in his nineties.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
