Theotonius
Theotonius (1082 - 1166) was an Augustinian canon and royal advisor. He is noted in Portugal, for being the first prior of the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Coimbra, Portugal. He is celebrated as the reformer of religious life in Portugal, and is the first Portuguese saint. ==Early life== Theotonius was born in the village of Ganfei, in northern Portugal around 1082.〔("Links between Portugal and the Holy Land", Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem )〕 His parents, Oveco (James) and Eugenia were both wealthy and pious. He was called "Theotonius", a Greek name meaning 'godly'. His uncle Dom Crescónio, Abbot of the Benedictine monastery near Tuy, was his first teacher. When Dom Crescónio became Bishop of Coimbra in 1092, he brought the ten-year-old Theotonius with him and entrusted his further education to the care of a young seminarian, Tello.〔("A Brief Biography of St. Theotonius", Opus Sanctorum Angelorum )〕 After the death of Bishop Crescónio in 1098, Theotonius went to Viseu, where his uncle named Teodorico was Prior of the Cathedral Chapter of Sancta Maria. During his time of preparation for the priesthood, Theotonius progressed through the minor ecclesiastic orders with great diligence and piety.〔(Boudinhon, Auguste. "Minor Orders." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 10. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. 10 Jan. 2015 )〕 The first of these was that of Porter, with the responsibility to open the church and sacristy and ring the bell. After serving a period of time as a Lector, he became an Exorcist. One of the chief duties of exorcists was to take part in the baptismal exorcism of catechumens.〔(Toner, Patrick. "Exorcist." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 5. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1909. 10 Jan. 2015 )〕 Completing his term as an Acolyte, Theotonius was ordained a subdeacon. Holy Orders were conferred upon him sometime before the year 1109, by the Bishop of Coimbra. The young priest was appointed a canon of the Cathedral Chapter of Viseu, which was a college of clerics who served as advisors to the Bishop.〔
