November 6 -- St Illtyd

 Sometimes spelled "Illtud", he was the great Welsh monastic founder.  Not much has come down to us about his life.   The good old Catholic Encyclopedia has the basics of what is known here.

This site, apparently maintained by the Church of Wales, has something more about his foundations based on recent research.

And today is his feast day in the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.  His collect:

Through the example and intercession of Saint Illtud, O Lord: grant us the grace to seek Thee in wisdom, and bring us to find Thee in prayer; through Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
