Bishop of Lyons, and Father of the Church. Information as to his life is scarce, and in some measure inexact. He was born in Proconsular Asia.

Saint Irenaeus, as a Catholic community, brings people to an encounter with Jesus Christ that makes them disciples fully alive.

Saint Irenaeus of Lyons was a second-century bishop and writer in present-day France. He is best known for defending Christian orthodoxy.

He was probably born about the year 125, in one of those maritime provinces of Asia Minor where the memory of the apostles was still cherished.

Irenaeus was involved in many of its controversies in the second century. He was a student, well trained no doubt, with great patience in investigating.
