St. Gregory the Chronicler

Saint Gregory the Chronicler (born Gregorio Abbatini; March 12, 1584 - September 27, 1669) was an Italo-Brunanter Franciscan friar, best known for the foundation of St. Andrew's Abbey and his chronicles.

Patron saint of Boguestown since 1742, he is considered a polymath, as he was also interested in botanology and fluently spoke French, German, Latin, Greek and Dutch, apart from Italian, his mother tongue. He was canonized 73 years after his death, by Pope Benedict XIV.
