Saint Sabinus was bishop of Catania in Sicily. Inflamed with a desire for seclusion and strict ascetic labor, the hierarch left his episcopal see and went out into the wilderness to struggle. There he lived a stern, ascetic life and received from the Lord the gift of working wonders and of foresight. The holy father reposed in about the year 760.
