Sant Riwari

Saint Rivoare, also known as Saint Riware, Saint Riwall, Riware, Rivoal, Rioual or Rivoaré, is one of a number of semi-legendary Breton saints from Armorica not recognized by the Catholic Church.Her feast is 19 September.

He was a sixth-century priest, uncle to Saint Herve.His sister was Saint Urfol's mother.Rivoare is called "the first emigrant priest on the continent". The Latin term which designates it -- "antistes" -- implies an ecclesiastic power. Only after his arrival in Armorica would monasteries and bishoprics be established. The previous bishops or abbots who evangelized the region were often designated as itinerant, coming from the British Isles without being fixed on the continent.
