Hugo de Marchiennes
Who they were
St. Hugo, abbot of Marchiennes, a former monk of St. Martin’s at Tournai, by his edifying example wrought a marvellous change for the better in the community in which he had professed. He was chosen abbot of Marchiennes and continued to set such attractive examples of charity, zeal and benevolence that he was universally regarded as a Saint. The Lord deemed him fit for his eternal reward in 1148.
