Saint Eutropius

Eutropius of Orange (b. Marseilles, France) was bishop of Orange, France after Justus and during the 5th century, probably since 463. According to the tradition, Eutropius was converted by his wife and became a deacon after her death. He became famous, among others for miracles attributed to him. He also corresponded with Pope Hilarius and was a friend of St. Faustus of Riez. Between 436 and 475 he took part in the Synod of Arles [http://www.bautz.de/bbkl/e/eutropius_b_v_o.shtml] .

His diocese had been destroyed by the Visigoths and he died as a martyr. His feast day is May 27.

His remains are intered in the Altar of St Mary Magdalengs Chapel at the London Oratory.
