Bernard was born in France in the tenth century. He became a priest and traveled throughout the Alps proselytizing for over forty years. He helped to establish a police force to protect innocent victims from mountain robbers but he is most renowned for building two hospices, that still bear his name, serving travel-weary climbers and pilgrims en route to Rome. A popular breed of dog, specifically trained to search for lost mountaineers, is named after him. Bernard is also the patron of mountain climbers. His feast day is May 28.
