Life
Nonnitus of Girona was bishop of the city of Girona in Visigothic Spain and reposed around 636. He was a monk and succeeded John of Biclar in the see of Girona around 621; his name appears in the list of bishops present at the Fourth Council of Toledo in 633.
He was greatly devoted to Saint Felix of Girona, the martyr of the city, and worked to spread his veneration. Soon after his death miracles were ascribed to him and he was regarded as a saint. In the Middle Ages, and in the 16th and 17th centuries, local martyrologies and calendars listed him among the saints, with his memory on 3 September. He remained in calendars until the 19th century, but he is not found in modern calendars or in the Roman Martyrology. He was never officially canonized; he is venerated by the faithful as a saint of the undivided Church.
