Who they were
At Bologna, commemoration of Saint Eusebius, bishop, who fought together with Saint Ambrose for the Catholic faith against Arianism and worked hard to promote among young women the value of virginity.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 26 September as a bishop of Bologna who fought beside Saint Ambrose against Arianism.
