Life

Richard of Andria was the first bishop of Andria in Apulia (Terra di Bari), Italy, remembered on 9 June.

The Roman Martyrology says only that at Andria there was Saint Richard, first bishop of that city, renowned for miracles. We have no data on his life or his time.

He is a saint of the West, of the undivided Church, honored locally; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
