Rufinianus

Saint Rufinien was the third bishop of Bayeux in the 5th century.

[1][2] Rufinien was born in Rome in the powerful family of Ruffini, although this origin is very uncertain.

During his episcopate, he would have greatly contributed to the evangelization of the diocese of Bayeux and would have ordained deacon Loup de Bayeux.

On the occasion of this ordination, one of his companions named Etienne would have predicted that Wolf would be his successor.

Rufinien is celebrated on October 25 and honored on September 5.
