Chad of Mercia
Hierarch
Commemorated March 2
Our father among the saints Chad of Mercia , (Old English: Ceadda), was a Anglo-Saxon and the bishop of Mercia during the seventh century. A monastic leader, he was deeply involved with small communities of loyal monks , as brothers, who formed his missionary teams, as well as Cedd and his other actual brothers with whom he was inextricably linked. His consciousness was strongly eschatological, that is focussed on the last things and their significance. His feast day is March 2 .
