Felix of Como

Saint Felix of Como was the first bishop of the city of Como in Italy, a friend of Saint Ambrose of Milan. He reposed around 390.

Ambrose praised him for his missionary work, ordained him priest in 379 and bishop in 386. When Bassianus of Lodi built a church dedicated to the Apostles at Lodi, Felix consecrated it in the presence of Ambrose. He was honored as a zealous pastor of souls. The Roman Church commemorates him on 8 October, and the Orthodox calendar on 14 July, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
