Felix of Nola

Saint Felix of Nola, born in Nola, is remembered with quiet reverence as a presbyter and bishop who served the Church in its earliest days. Though little is known of the details of his life, his witness left a lasting mark on the Christian community of his hometown, where his name continued to be honored among the faithful. He died in the year 95, and the Church keeps his memory on January 14. Venerated as a saint, Felix remains a spiritual patron of Nola and of Orria, a sign of the enduring devotion that has gathered around his life and ministry. In remembering Saint Felix, we are invited to cherish the humble fidelity of those who shepherded Christ’s people from the beginning.
