Blessed Frederick of Regensburg, religious

Frederick was born, lived and died in Regensburg in Bavaria. He joined the Order there in what was at the time one of its most important houses in the thriving province of Bavaria. He lived the life of a Brother, faithfully serving the community as carpenter and woodcutter. Frederick was noted for his concern for the poor and for his great Eucharistic devotion. The legend arose of an occasion when he was too ill to attend the community Mass and an angel took him Holy Communion to his room. Frederick died on 29th November, 1329.

He was beatified by Pope Pius X on 12th May, 1909.
