Life
Saint Rufus of Avignon is venerated as the first Bishop of Avignon in Gaul. Tradition places him around the year 200. The surviving sources say no more about his life.
He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 12 November (new style, Western calendar). He is not to be confused with Saint Rufus, Bishop of Metz, remembered on 7 November, nor with the Rufus greeted in Romans 16:13.
