St. Nicholas was an Augustinian Monk.  He was concerned of the sick and needy and was not ashamed to quest alms for the upkeep of his community.  He was remarkable for his spirit of prayer, penance and devotion to the Holy souls.  He was an outstanding wonder-worker and was canonized in 1446.  His body was lost but his arms were preserved and it is said that when a calamity is about to happen to the Church and the world, the holy arms bleed. 

 

Every year , the Blessed Loaves of St. Nicholas are available at the Oratory named after him at  UNO-R Bacolod.
