Bishop and missionary, also listed as Robert of Hrodbert. A member of a noble Frankish family, he was appointed bishop of Worms, Germany, and then dedicated himself to spreading the faith among the Germans. With the patronage of Duke Thedo of Bavaria, he took over the deserted town of luvavum about 697, which was renamed Salzburg, Austria. Rupert founded a church, a monastery, and a school; brought in groups of missionaries; and established a nunnery at Nonnberg with his sister, Eerentrudis, serving as the first abbess. He died at Salzburg and is venerated as the first archbishop of this major diocese in the West. Rupert is revered as the Apostle of Bavaria and Austria.

St. Rupert was much more to the people of Austria and began the town of Salzburg and turned it into a mining capital. He was a humble and pious man and we need to pray to him to help restore the Catholic faith in Austria which was devastated by the sexual abuse of clergy. St. Rupert and St. Boniface of Germany, pray for us and help us through your inspiration to bring Catholics back to their faith. May the present day clergy follow your ways.
