Saint Albert The Great Feast Day - 15 November

Quoted from Wikipedia [1]:

Albertus Magnus OP (c. 1200 – 15 November 1280), also known as Saint Albert the Great or Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop. Later canonised as a Catholic saint, he was known during his lifetime as Doctor universalis and Doctor expertus  and, late in his life, the sobriquet Magnus  was appended to his name.

More on Saint Albert the Great, quoted from Catholicism.org [2]:

Saint Albertus Magnus (Albert the Great) was a Dominican. He was a teacher of Saint Thomas Aquinas. He is one of the greatest theologians of the Catholic Church. He studied all the sciences, and knew and saw and declared how shallow they were for all purposes of eternal wisdom. His great devotion was to the Blessed Sacrament and to Our Blessed Lady. He was seventy-four years old when he died. Saint Albert the Great is one of the Doctors of the Catholic Church.
