Life
Calminius was a nobleman of Auvergne who lived as a hermit and founded monasteries in the region of Riom, among them Villars, Mauzac and Mozac; other sources also credit him with Laguenne and Monastier-Saint-Chaffre. He reposed around the year 690. His wife, Namadia, became a nun.
His relics and hers were kept in the abbey church of Mozac, in a twelfth-century reliquary. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
His commemoration falls on 19 August (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 1 September of the civil calendar.
