Maisha
Mtoto wa wazazi tajiri wa Tongeren (leo nchini Ubelgiji). Ingawa Wapagani walikubali mtoto alelewe Kikristo, ila walipomuua Kunibert, mlezi wake, Helier alitoroka nyumbani.

Hatimaye alifikia Cotentin alipojiunga na monasteri ya Marcouf huko Nantus (Nanteuil, sasa St.-Marcouf-de-l’Isle, Manche).

Ni Marcouf aliyempeleka pamoja na padri Romard kuinjilisha Jersey ambapo hatimaye aliuawa na maharamia kwa kukatwa kichwa"How saintly was St. Helier?", Jersey Evening Post, January 29, 2000.
