St. Oliver of Ancona (+1050)

Commemorated February 3

St. Oliver (also known as Oliverius of Portonuovo) was a Benedictine monk from a community south of Ancona on the Italian Adriatic Coast.  It is thought that he came from Armenia, or that he originally was a Camaldolese monk from Dalmatia.

From his scroll: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”
