Saint Iñigo of Oña lived in the 11th century in Bilbao, Spain. He lived there as a hermit and monk in San Juan de Peña in modern-day Spain. He later served as the prior there. He reformed the monastery in Oña in 1029 at the request of King Sancho the Great. Saint Iñigo of Oña was known as a peacemaker and miracle worker. He died on June 1, 1057 in the monastery Oña. He was canonized by Pope Alexander IV in 1259.
I chose to learn a little bit more about Saint Iñigo of Oña today as I will be going to Spain in 70 days for World Youth Day. God bless all us pilgrims!
