Feastday: April 1
1053 - 1132

Benedictine bishop of Grenoble, France, patron of St. Bruno. He was born in the Dauphine region and became a canon of the cathedral in Valence. In 1080, while attending a synod in Avignon, Hugh was named bishop of Grenoble. He attempted a massive reform of the diocese, but, discouraged, retired to Chaise Dieu Abbey, and became a Benedictine. Pope St. Gregoiy VII ordered him back to Grenoble. Hugh gave St. Bruno the land on which the Grande Chartreuse was founded, thus starting the Carthusians. Hugh died on April 1 and was canonized by Pope Innocent II.

St. Hugh of Grenoble, pray for us sinners, as we begin Holy Week. Give us the loyalty of Mary Magdalene who stood steadfast at the foot of the Cross. Forgive us for betraying Christ, for disownig HIm, for abandoning Him, for misjudging Him and for crucifying Him, Give the heavenly graces we so sorely need to be loyal and proud of Him who died for us. Dear St.Hugh pray for us to know Christ more intimately, follow Him more closely and love Him more dearly. Amen.
