Life

Venerable Pome (Poma) was a nun in Gaul, the sister of Saint Memmius, venerated as the first bishop of Châlons-⁠sur-⁠Marne (today Châlons-⁠en-⁠Champagne) in France. She lived at the end of the third century.

Her remains lie in the basilica of Saint Memmius at Saint-⁠Memmie, near those of her brother and of four other bishops who succeeded him at Châlons. Her commemoration is kept on 27 June in the Western calendar. She is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured without synodal canonization.
