Saint Calistrat, born in 1747 in Teleac, Alba County, was tonsured a monk at Timișeni Monastery. Known for his deep humility and obedience, he later became abbot. During Austro-Hungarian rule, when the monastery faced demolition, he relocated the community to Vasiova, establishing a new monastic center. He guided his monks with wisdom and love, emphasizing prayer and simple living until his death in 1819.

Holy Saint Calistrat, intercede for us!
