Saint of the Day – 7 September – St Euvertius (Died c340) Bishop of Orleans . Also known as – Eu
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Orleans, in France, the departure from this life of the holy Bishop, Euvortius, who was first a Sub-Deacon of the Roman Church and afterwards through the Divine favour, was designated as the Bishop of that City, by a dove.”
Euvertius was the 4th Bishop of Orléans, predecessor to Saint Anianus (died 388), according to the Episcopal records in the collection of Saint Albinus of Angers.
Long ignored except in the Episcopal lists, Euvertius suddenly rose to prominence in the 9th Century when, to enhance the prestige of the Church of the Holy Cross in Orléans, his Vita was composed, according to which, he was the builder of this Church under the reign of Constantine.
In Orleans, his Feast Day is celebrated today on 7 September, the date on which he is remembered in the Roman Martyrology.
