St. Fabian is known for being an outstanding administrator and one of the great popes of the early Roman Catholic Church. Fabian supposedly divided Rome into seven districts assigned to the seven deacons and is said to have founded several churches in France. His appointment of notaries to register the deeds of Christian martyrs reflected the increasing precision with which the church began to keep records during his time. He is venerated as a patron saint of Rome.
