Leucadius of Bourges
senator who made his house at Dol a church
Feast: 16 November (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Dol in the territory of Bourges in France, the commemoration of Saints Leucadius and Lusor: the first, a senator of the Gauls, still a pagan, received the first preachers of the Christian faith at Bourges and made his house in this village into a church; the other, his son, is said to have left this world wearing the white robe of the newly baptised.
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 16 November as the senator of the Gauls who received the first preachers of the Christian faith at Bourges and made his house at Dol into a church.
