Domitian was chosen
bishop of Tongeren, but later moved his see to
Maastricht. He was present at the
Council of Clermont (535). Domitian is notable for speaking out convincingly against heretics, especially at the
Fifth Council of Orléans in 549. He encouraged the development of
polemic against heresy in the early church, and worked to evangelize the
Meuse Valley. He is occasionally referred to as the "Apostle of the Meuse Valley" for his efforts there. Domitian also constructed churches and hospices in order to care for people spiritually and physically. He was well known for his generosity, as well as his ability to procure money via fund-raising, a talent that once helped to ease a
famine in his bishopric. ==Veneration==
