St Gaudiosus

Gaudiosus was a Bishop in North Africa during a time when the King ruling the country kicked all the Christians out. Gaudiosus left North Africa in a boat with other Christian men and women and they went to Naples in Italy. Gaudiosus shared the teachings of St. Augustine with the people of Naples and he also brought some relics of saints (very special things which remind us of Jesus or saints) to Naples to help people get closer to Jesus. Even though he spent much of his life in Italy and died there, he is still remembered as “the African”.
