Life

Saint Paternian of Bologna was bishop of Bologna in Italy from about 450 to 470, and he reposed around 470. The sources preserve no further details of his life.

He is commemorated on 12 July among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar. He is not to be confused with Saint Paternian, bishop of Fano, nor with Parthenian, also a bishop of Bologna, commemorated on the same day.

Commemorated the same day July 12
