Life

Holy Hierarch Justus of Vienne was the fifth bishop of the city of Vienne in Gaul, in the second century. His name is linked to some spurious letters attributed to Pope Pius I, in which he appears, a sign that he was known as one of the early bishops of that Church.

No further details of his episcopate have survived. He is regarded as a saint of the undivided Church, honoured in the ancient tradition of Gaul.
