Fibicius of Trier

Saint Fibicius of Trier (also called Fibitius or Felicius) was bishop of Trier from about 511 to about 525. He is venerated in the Western Church as a saint or blessed and remembered on 5 November in the Western calendar.

According to some sources he was abbot of the monastery of Saint Maximin in Trier before becoming bishop, though other scholars disagree. His tenure fell in troubled times, as Frankish power expanded toward the region. In those years the Church of Trier began to recover from a period of weakness and resumed its mission on the middle Rhine.

His name appears in the lists of the bishops of Trier and in the Life of Saint Goar. He is thought to have given Saint Goar permission, around 511, to build a church at Oberwesel. He may also have asked King Theuderic I to send priests from the Auvergne to Trier. After his death he was probably buried in the old church of Saint Nicholas in Trier. Nothing is known of the circumstances of his death.
