ST. EUCHERIUS: Feb. 20

February 20, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

He was born at Orleans, France.  Around the year 714 he became a Benedictine monk at Jumieges.  He was elected Bishop of Orleans around 718 over his vehement objections.  He was exiled to Cologne by Charles Martel, mayor of the palace, because Eucherius opposed the use of Church funds to finance Charles’ war expenses.  Because of his popularity in Cologne, Charles put him under virtual arrest at Liege.  Eventually, he was permitted to retire to Saint-Trond Monastery,  where he spent the rest of his life.  He died February 20.
