Consecration 624
Enthroned unknown
Ended on 10 November between 627 to 631
Predecessor Mellitus
Successor Saint Honorius
Died on 10 November between 627 to 631
He was a Roman by birth, and was one of the missionaries sent to England, by Pope Gregory II, either at the request of St. Augustine of Canterbury in 601.or possibly one of the original missionaries that arrived with Augustine in 597.
He was consecrated bishop by Saint Augustine in 604, with a province to include the Kentish city Rochester, which made him the first Bishop of Rochester. While he was bishop, Justus and Mellitus subscribed a letter that Laurence wrote to the Celtic bishops urging the Celtic Church to adopt the Roman method of calculating the date of Easter. When persecution broke out after the death of King Aethelbert of Kent, he fled to Gaul; but a year later he was reinstated in his bishopric, which he governed with diligence and care until, in 624,he became Archbishop of Canterbury, receiving the pallium from Pope Boniface V. He consecrated Romanus as his successor as bishop of Rochester.
In 614 he attended the Council of Paris, held by Chlothar II.
The most notable event of his brief archiepiscopate was the evangelization of Northumbria. Paulinus was consecrated by Justus to be the first bishop of York and within two years, King Edwin of Northumbria was baptised, with many of his people, in a little church which Paulinus had built at York, near where York Minster now stands. The news of Edwin's conversion was conveyed to Justus not long before his death, which is believed to have taken place on November 10 between 627 to 631. The modern Society of Archbishop Justus is named after Justus. He was regarded as a saint following his death, and his feast day is November 10.
