Saint Hugh of Grenoble, born in 1053 in Châteauneuf-sur-Isère, France, was a pivotal figure in the reform of the Catholic Church during his time. He became the Bishop of Grenoble at the age of 27, a position he held for 52 years, dedicated to combating corruption such as simony and enforcing clerical celibacy. His efforts to reform his diocese were initially met with resistance, leading him to briefly retire to the monastic life at Chaise-Dieu Abbey. However, Pope Gregory VII ordered him back to his bishopric where he continued his work with significant success, becoming a noted preacher and patron of the Carthusian Order by aiding St. Bruno in founding the Grande Chartreuse. Hugh died on April 1, 1132, and was canonized just two years later. | '''Saint Hugh of Grenoble''', born in 1053 in Châteauneuf-sur-Isère, [[France]], was a pivotal figure in the reform of the Catholic Church during his time.
