Saint Eugendus of Condat
St Eugendus of Condat, also known by several names including Agendus, Augendus, Eugend, Eugendo, Oyan, Oyand, Oyend, and Yan, is remembered with an additional memorial on January 4 in the dioceses of Besançon and Saint Claude.
He was born around 449 in Izernore, Ain, France, and was taught to read and write by his father, who later became a priest.
At the young age of seven, Eugendus entered the Condat Monastery on Mount Jura, Switzerland, where he would remain for the next 61 years of his life.
He became proficient in Greek and Latin and was recognized for his deep knowledge of Scripture, yet he declined ordination, feeling unworthy to serve as a priest.

When a fire destroyed the original wooden monastery, Eugendus oversaw its reconstruction in stone, ensuring its durability for centuries.
