Guarinus of Sitten (German: Warin, French: Guérin) was Bishop of Sion.
Guarinus was born in Pont-à-Mousson,[citation needed] Lotharingia, around 1065, into a noble family. In about 1085 he became a monk at the Benedictine monastery of Molesme Abbey. In 1094, together with a group of brothers, he founded a daughter house of Molesme, Aulps Abbey in Savoy.
In 1138 Guarinus was appointed Bishop of Sion and later became revered as a saint. He died at Aulps Abbey in 1150.[1]
