Saint Delphinus of Bordeaux

Feast Day: December 24th

While little is known of St. Delphinus before his elevation to the episcopal see of Bordeaux in France, as a bishop he soon became renowned for his vigilance in defense of the Truth.

Saint Delphinus of BordeauxThe saintliest princes of the Church at the time were honored to be counted among his friends and to correspond with him, among them, St. Ambrose of Milan.

He was present at the Council of Saragossa in 380, at which the Priscillian heresy was condemned. This heresy argued that the renunciation of marriage and the acceptance of asceticism were prerequisites for following Christ.

St. Delphinus later assembled a Council at Bordeaux, his episcopal city, whose assembly also condemned the same errors. Such was the force and zealous preaching of the Bishop of Bordeaux against those that propagated this heresy in his territory that it undermined their influence entirely and they soon abandoned the region for Italy.

In 388, St. Delphinus baptized the future Bishop of Nola, St. Paulinus, and inspired in him the desire to live a life of perfection. St. Paulinus spoke of him as his father and master.

In several letters, St. Paulinus speaks of St. Delphinus as his father and his master. The saintly Bishop of Bordeaux died on Christmas Eve in the year 403 becoming his feast day.

Help bring Our Lady’s message back to Canada

Every day, more Canadians are drifting away from faith, peace, and truth. Families are struggling. Communities are losing their spiritual foundation.

But there is hope.

Through devotion to Our Lady and the power of the rosary, hearts can be renewed, families restored, and our nation brought back to God. Canada Needs Our Lady's mission is to answer that call.

Many Canadians have lost connection to their spiritual heritage. In a time of confusion and isolation, Our Lady remains a beacon of hope—calling us back to prayer, faith, and truth.

Through public rosary rallies, national campaigns, and the distribution of blessed devotional items, we are working to bring that message to every corner of Canada.

And with the support of generous donors, this mission is already making a measurable impact across Canada.
