St Gregory the Great

Gregory the Great (died 604) was an influential Pope and writer, known as one of the four Latin Fathers, or Doctors, of the Church. He is credited with the initiative to evangelise the Anglo-Saxons in England, sending Augustine to Kent in 597. His saintly cult was soon established and widespread across the Western and Eastern Church in the Middle Ages.
