Genesius, Bishop of Clermont was a 7th-century prelate from the Auvergne region of France. Born into a senatorial family, he abandoned a worldly career to serve the Church, eventually becoming the archdeacon of Clermont. He later succeeded Bishop Proculus as the twenty-first bishop of the see in 656. Known for his strict piety and devotion to his followers, he focused his ministry on upholding Christian morality and establishing charitable institutions throughout the region.
