Felix of Como

Saint Felix of Como (died on October 8, 391 AD) is venerated as the first bishop of Como.

For other people named Felix, see Felix (name).

He was a friend of Saint Ambrose, who praised him for his missionary activity and ordained him a priest in 379 and a bishop in 386.[1]

When Saint Bassianus built a church dedicated to the Apostles at Lodi, he consecrated it in the presence of Ambrose and Felix.[2] His feast day is celebrated on July 1.[3]
