Amabilis of Riom
Saint Amabilis of Riom was a French saint. Sidonius Apollinaris brought Amabilis to serve at Clermont.
He served as a cantor in the church of Saint Mary at Clermont and as a precentor at the cathedral of Clermont and then as a parish priest in Riom. He acquired a reputation for holiness in his lifetime.
Saint Amabilis is not to be confused with a female saint with this name who died in 634 AD; she was the daughter of an Anglo-Saxon king and became a nun at Saint-Amand monastery, Rouen. Her feast day is July 11.Veneration
Riom grew up around the collegiate church of Saint Amable, which was the object of pilgrimages.
