ENGLISH SPEAKING SAINTS OCTOBER 21 St. Tuda

ENGLISH SPEAKING SAINTS OCTOBER 21 St. Tuda, 664 A.D. Irish monk and bishop. He succeeded St. Colman as bishop of Lindisfarne, and he was a supporter of the Roman Rite versus the Celtic Church in England. He died after only one year in his see from an outbreak of plague. No other facts are available about him, owing to the destruction of so many records in the sacking of Lindisfarne by the Danes in the ninth century.
