abstract
  • Blessed Peter Gonzalez, sometimes referred to as Pedro González Telmo, Saint Telmo, or Saint Elmo, was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest born in 1190 in Frómista, Palencia, Spain. Gonzalez was educated by his uncle, the Bishop of Astorga, who gave him a canonry when he was very young. Later, he entered the Dominican Order and became a renowned preacher; crowds gathered to hear him and numberless conversions were the result of his efforts. He accompanied the King, Saint Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon on his expeditions against the Moors, but his real ambition was to preach to the poor. He devoted the remainder of his life to the instruction and conversion of the ignorant and of the mariners in Galicia and along the coast of Spain. He died on April 15, 1246, at Tui and is buried in the local cathedral. He was beatified in 1254 by Pope Innocent IV. Although his cult was confirmed in 1741 by Pope Benedict XIV and despite his common epithet of "saint," Peter Gonzalez was never formally canonized. The diminutive "Elmo" (or "Telmo") belongs properly to the martyr-bishop Saint Erasmus (died c. 303), one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, of whose name "Elmo" is a contraction. However, as St Erasmus is the patron of sailors generally and Peter Gonzalez of Spanish and Portuguese sailors specifically, they have both been popularly invoked as "Saint Elmo." He was buried at the Cathedral of Tui, Galicia.
