Seeking a life of greater solitude and devotion, he traveled to the Rhine Valley in Germany.

St. Goar’s holiness and reputation for miracles attracted many visitors. He provided hospitality and spiritual counsel to those who sought him out. His life of simplicity and prayerful dedication made a significant impact on the local community.
According to tradition, St. Goar's miracles included providing water during times of drought and protecting livestock from harm. His acts of kindness and his dedication to the Christian way of life left a lasting legacy in the region.
St. Goar passed away around the year 649. After his death, a church was built in his honor at the site of his hermitage, and it became a place of pilgrimage. Over time, the town of St. Goar developed around this church. His feast day is celebrated on July 6.
St. Goar is remembered for his deep faith, his commitment to living a life of prayer and solitude, and his generous spirit in aiding those in need.
