St. Dubricus (d. 550) was one of the founders of monastic life in Wales, also called Dubric, Dyfrig, or Devereux. He was born in Madley, Wales, and he founded monasteries at Henllan and Moccas. These served as motherhouses for other abbeys in Herefordshire, Gwent, and the Wye Valley.Dubricus also ruled Caldrey Island. He appointed St. Samsonabbot and ordained him as a bishop. Dubricus spent the last years of his life at Ynys Enlli. He is believed to have been the arch-bishop of Caerleon. He died and was buried on the island of Bardsey.

St. Dubricus please pray for more converts to Catholicism from Wales.
