St. Celine
We have very few details about the life of this saint who is best known as the mother of St. Remigius, Bishop of Rheims at the time of the conversion of the people of Gaul under Clovis. St. Celine miraculously gave birth to St. Remigius when she was already at an advanced age. Immediately after giving birth, about 438, she also gave sight to the hermit Montanus who had three times foretold the birth of the saintly Bishop. After a holy life filled with good works and assiduous prayer, this saintly woman attained the rewards of heaven about the year 458. She was buried near Lyons, probably at Cerny, where she had lived. Unfortunately her relics were destroyed during the French Revolution.

My name is Celine ( from Ireland ) I have only just discovered your website. My late mam told me she named me after St Therese `s ( the little flower ) sister Celine who died on the day I was born 4th March , I was pleasantly surprised to learn there is a St Celine & I will be certainly be prying to her from now on
An additional comment: St Celine gave birth to St Remigius, at an advanced age. She restored sight to a hermit who had three times foretold the birth of the Saintly Bishop. She was buried near Lyons about 458.
Re the pictures of Celine, sister of St Therese of Lisieux, authentic pictures are in her biography titled, Celine. .
I only knew my name is a French derivative of Cecelia until I learned of St Celine about 10years ago. Her feast day is Oct 21. The picture accompanying this information is actually a picture of St Therese of the Child Jesus, painted by her sister Celine, Also known as Sr Genevieve of the Face of Jesus.
Waoh! thank God that i have finally seen and know something about my patron saint, saint Celine. My name is Celine too and I thought my name is just anyhow name but it's not so. May through her prayers help us to do good just as she did AMEN!

My daughter's name is Celine as well. I'm a great fan of Celine Dion and that is where I got the name from. Though I have to say that being a catholic myself I was aware that there is a saint aswell named like that. Unfortunately I do not know anything about her life. Would be interesting to know more.
