Saint Felix of Como

Felix of Como (died on October 8, 391 AD) is venerated as the first bishop of Como. He was a friend of Ambrose, who praised him for his missionary activity and ordained him a priest in 379 and a bishop in 386. When Bassianus of Lodi built a church dedicated to the Apostles at Lodi, he consecrated it in the presence of Ambrose and Felix. Felix is honored as a zealous pastor of souls. His feast day is July 1.
