History

United in 1802 with the Diocese of Meaux and in 1821 with the archdiocese of Reims, the diocese of Châlons was re-established in 1822, and is suffragan to Reims.

Local legends maintain that the evangelization of Châlons by St. Memmius, sent thither by St. Peter and assisted by his sister Poma, also by St. Donatian and St. Domitian, took place in the first century. In the revised list of the diocesan saints in the Breviary these legends have been suppressed.

The cathedral was consecrated in 1147 by Pope Eugene III, assisted by St. Bernard and eighteen cardinals. Among its celebrated abbeys the diocese counted those of St. Memmius, founded in the fifth century by Alpinus; Toussaints, founded in the eleventh century; Montier-en-Der, founded in the seventh century by St. Bereharius, a monk from Luxeuil; Saint-Pierre au Mont, founded during the same period. Notre-Dame de l'Epine, near Châlons, was a place of pilgrimage as early as the beginning of the fifteenth century.

Bishops

Abbé Duchesne assigns the founding of the See of Châlons to the fourth century, Amandinus, who attended the Council of Tours in 461, being its ninth bishop. St. Lumier (Leudomerus), Bishop of Châlons about 580, was noted for his miraculous power over animals.

The bishops of this see played an important part in early French history. At the coronation of the Capetian kings, the Bishop of Châlons always carried the royal ring.
