Saint Faustus, like his father, had attained the heights of monasticism, and excelled at fasting. Following the death of his father, he succeeded him as igumen of the monastery. The details of his ascetical life are not known.

Troparion — Tone 4

O God of our Fathers, / always always act with kindness towards us; / take not Your mercy from us, / but guide our lives in peace / through the prayers of Venerable Isaac, Dalmatus, and Faustus.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Through asceticism you shone like lights in the world / and by your faith you overthrew heresies. / We praise you with hymns, Isaac, Dalmatus, and Faustus, / as servants of Christ who are praying for us all.
