LIKE EVERY YEAR AT THE SAME TIME,
SAINT-MARCOUF IS TRADITIONALLY CELEBRATED AT SAINT-MACLOU

Like every year at the same time, Saturday, May 18 at 5:00 p.m. at the chapel of Saint-Maclou, Father Materne ;of the Parish “Notre Dame de Vie” celebrated a mass in honor of Saint-Marcouf.
Saint-Marcouf has a particular importance for our chapel since, along with Saint- Maclou, this place is dedicated to him.
Of Frankish origin, Saint-Marcouf was born in Bayeux in 490 and was ordained a priest at the age of 30.
He attracted disciples whom he gathered in Nanteuil where, in the 6th century, he founded an abbey known as Nantus.
He obtained this domain from King Childebert I, son of Clovis and Clotilde.
People come to see him for his healing powers of skin diseases, especially scrofula, tuberculous abscesses of the neck lymph nodes.
Saint-Marcouf dies in Nanteuil in 558, he is celebrated on May 4 in the diocese of Bayeux-Lisieux.

We thank the many faithful who joined us to honor Saint-Marcouf.
