Saint Andrew Avellino (†1608) was a renowned Italian Theatine priest and saint. After studying law and receiving ordination, he worked as a lawyer in the ecclesiastical court of Naples, but a lie he told during a case provoked a profound conversion. Joining the Theatines in 1556, he took the name Andrew and devoted himself to austere reform, rigorous penance, and apostolic zeal. Famous for his eloquence in preaching and tireless work among plague victims, he suffered a fatal stroke at the altar while beginning Mass. Canonized in 1712, he is invoked against sudden death. His feast day is celebrated on November 10.
