Died c. 690. The Irish monk Saint Mummolus was a companion of
Saint Fursey (f.d. January 16),
whom he succeeded as abbot of Lagny, in the
diocese of Meaux. But he did not remain in that position long because
too many of his monks thought that his rule was too strict. So Mummolus
retired to a hermitage where he lived out his days in secluded prayer.
His relics were translated and solemnly enshrined in 831 in the diocese
of Meaux
