'''Saint Augustine of Canterbury''' (d. May 26, 604) was a [[Saints|saint]] and missionary monk sent by [[Pope Gregory the Great]] to convert the Anglo-Saxons in England. Likely born in [[Italy]], possibly [[Rome]], he was prior of St. Andrew’s monastery before leading a mission of 40 monks to Kent in 596. Arriving in 597, he was welcomed by King Æthelberht of Kent, whose Christian wife, Bertha, facilitated his work. Augustine established a monastery at [[Canterbury]], converted Æthelberht, and baptized thousands, becoming the first Archbishop of Canterbury. His mission laid the foundation for Christianity in England. Venerated in the [[Roman Catholic]], Anglican, and [[Eastern Orthodox]] Churches, his feast day is [[May 26]] in Rome and May 28 in England.<ref name="CatholicEncyclopedia">{{cite web |title=St. Augustine of Canterbury |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02084a.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-11}}</ref><ref name="Wikipedia">{{cite web |title=Augustine of Canterbury |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_of_Canterbury |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-11}}</ref> | '''Saint Augustine of Canterbury''' (d.
