Brendan the Navigator

Venerable

Commemorated May 16

Our venerable and God-bearing father Brendan the Navigator (or the Voyager ) was a sixth-century Irish Orthodox monk . He was perhaps the first Orthodox Christian to set foot on Canadian soil, and as such, is the first of the saints to set foot in North America. He is also known as Brendan of Clonfert . He is remembered by the Church on May 16 .
