ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 3rd of October
SAINT PATUSIUS, BISHOP OF MEAUX
This holy confessor and elected bishop of Meaux (Meldae) died on the very day he was elected bishop.
We know of him that prior to being elected bishop and dying in A.D. 697, he had been Canon at St Stephen in Meaux. A former priory church, not far from the episcopal town that bore his name, bears witness to his immemorial veneration.
