Life

Holy Hierarch Claudius was bishop of Vienne in the Dauphiné (France), in the first half of the fifth century, not around the year 350.

He attended the Council of Orange in 441 and the Council of Vaison in 442. Salvian dedicated to him a work of his on Ecclesiastes, now lost. His commemoration is kept on 1 June; he is also celebrated on 1 July, on the collective feast of all the bishop saints of Vienne, together with Saint Martin. He is regarded as a saint of the undivided Church by the Catholic Church, without synodal canonization.
