Paschasius of Vienne

Holy Hierarch Paschasius of Vienne was the eleventh Bishop of Vienne in the Dauphiné in France, in the early fourth century. The chronicles place him between Saints Simplicius and Claudius. A papal bull of Pope Sylvester, dated around 322, is said to have given him supremacy over seven provinces, but its authenticity is questioned. He reposed around the year 312. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 22 February (new calendar).
