Greetings:

Today is supposed to be the feast day of Aelred of Rievaulx according to an Anglican website. Is Aelred a saint in the Roman Catholic Church? If so does he have a specific area of intercession? I am curious to know because I find I like his work Spiritual Friendship. I am also quite fond of the writings of one of his contemporaries St. Bernard of Clairveaux

Aelred (Ethelred) is venerated as a Saint by the Roman Catholic Church, but is commemorated on February 3.

I don’t know whether he is honored as Patron of anything in particular, but it seems like an appropriate venue for his intercession might be: the reunion of the Anglican Communion with the Roman Catholic Church, or the return of Anglicanism to the Apostolic Faith, or even the conversion of Scotland and England to some kind of Christianity in general… 😃
