Julian

Saint Julian of Vienne, hierarch, was bishop of Vienne in the first half of the 6th century, approximately between 520 and 530. According to a French source he is regarded as a saint by both Catholics and Orthodox; we have, however, no act of canonization. He is remembered on 22 April in the Western calendar.

The 9th-⁠century chronicler Ado of Vienne counts him as the eighteenth bishop, after Saint Avitus. He is thought to be the bishop Julian present at the council of Lyon around 518-523 alongside Archbishop Viventiolus; his place after the metropolitan of Lyon shows that he was metropolitan of Vienne. He then signed at the Second Council of Orléans on 23 June 533, twenty-⁠third among the signing bishops.

He is entered in the Hieronymian Martyrology on 22 April and by the Bollandists on the same date. In the calendar of the diocese of Grenoble-⁠Vienne he is remembered on 1 July, together with Saint Martin and all the former saintly bishops of Vienne.
