of the twelve monks who traveled with his spiritual father st columbanus november 23 as missionaries to gaul in time some of the group traveled into pagan lands up the rhine river to lake zurich the monks settled on lake constance around a chapel dedicated to st aurelia which had been taken by the pagans as a shrine they cleansed and reconsecrated the chapel which became the center of their new monastery saint gall lived as a hermit serving the brethren by making nets and catching fish in 612 st columbanus went on to italy with most of his disciples leaving st gall and a few others to continue their life when st gall delivered frideburga the daughter of a local duke from a demon he offered the saint a tract of land on the shores of lake constance here was founded the monastery that in later times bore st gall s name at various times the holy gall refused calls to become a bishop or to take over the abbacy of the great monastery at luxeuil to all such requests he answered that he would rather serve than command he continued living in his isolated monastic community until he reposed in peace in 640 at the age of ninety nine in later years and continuing well into the middle
