Saint Poma

Saint Poma was the sister of Saint Memmius (in French "Memmie de Châlons") who is venerated as the first bishop of Châlons-sur-Marne (present-day Châlons-en-Champagne) in France.[1] She lived in the late third century.[2]

Saint Poma's feast day is June 27.[2]

Her remains are interred in the Basilica of Saint Memmius in Saint-Memmie, France,[3] near those of her brother and four other men who succeeded him as bishop in Châlons.[4][5]
