EspañolGERARD OF TOUL
'Saint Gerard' or 'Gerald of Toul' (also ''Geraud''; b. Cologne 935, d. Toul 994) was a German priest who was appointed bishop of Toul in 963.
Toul at this time, although a part of the Holy Roman Empire, enjoyed a great deal of independence under its prince-bishops. Gerard proved a successful and respected ruler, governing the principality for thirty-one years.
He established many religious schools in the see, inviting scholars from across Europe to study and teach at Toul. He also rebuilt many churches, notably the Cathedral of Saint Steven.
He was canonized in 1050 by Pope Leo IX, who had succeeded him as bishop of the see.
His feast day is celebrated on 23 April.
