Saint Memmius
Saint Memmius (French: Menge, Meinge, Memmie) is venerated as the first bishop of Châlons-sur-Marne (now Châlons-en-Champagne), and founder of the diocese.[1] According to tradition, Memmius was a Roman citizen who was consecrated by Saint Peter and sent to Gaul to convert the people there to Christianity.[2]

However, according to Flodoard, he was a contemporary of Saint Sixtus, bishop of Reims.[3] Memmius' sister, Saint Poma, is also venerated as a saint.[3]
Veneration
Saint Gregory of Tours writes that while traveling through Châlons, his servant fell sick from fever. Gregory prayed at Memmius' tomb and by the next morning Gregory's servant had been cured.[3] Memmius' immediate successors, Donatian and Domitian, were also venerated as saints.[3]

gollark: Obviously this will have to know when a process exits so it can restart it, but people want to be able to stop/start/restart a service.
gollark: I see. So for my thing I suppose I'll just have to have a thread waiting for each process (ugh, but what can you do) and then... hope that if I kill that, `wait` will handle it okay.
gollark: Are those just magically callbacked?
gollark: But it's also able to respond to signals and start/stop it accordingly somehow.
