Life

Saint Aetherius of Vienne was the thirty-⁠first bishop of the city of Vienne in south-⁠eastern France, in the early seventh century, and shepherded until his death in the year 626. Like all of the first forty-⁠five bishops of Vienne, he is regarded as a saint.

The old martyrologies commemorate him on 14 June; the present Roman Martyrology no longer includes him, but his local veneration is permitted. The Orthodox calendar lists him on the same date, as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
