Costanzo di Niardo

Saint Costanzo di Niardo was born in 1066 in Niardo and lived into the heart of the twelfth century, dying in 1151. Though few details of his life have come down to us, his memory endures in the Church as a witness whose holiness was treasured by the faithful. Venerated especially in connection with Pont-Canavese, he is honored there as a patron, a sign of the lasting devotion inspired by his name. His feast is kept on February 12, inviting believers to remember that God raises up saints in every age, including those whose hidden fidelity is known more by its fruits than by written records. In turning to Saint Costanzo, we are encouraged to seek quiet perseverance and trust in the Lord.
