Maisha na maandishi
Kisha kufiwa mke wake Galla, alitawa pamoja na wanae Verano na Saloni katika monasteri ya Lérins, iliyoanzishwa na Honorati wa Arles juu ya kisiwa karibu na Antibes.

Baadaye alihamia kisiwa cha Lerona (sasa Sainte-Marguerite), akisoma na kujitesa kwa lengo la kujiunga na Mababu wa jangwani.

Kumbe Yohane Kasiano alifika huko Marseille na kuandika sehemu ya pili ya Collationes (namba 11-17) kwa heshima ya Eukeri na Honoratus. 

Wakati huohuo Eukeri aliandika De laude Eremi ("Sifa ya Jangwa") kwa askofu Hilari wa Arles.Clugnet, Léon. "St. Eucherius." The Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 5. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1909. 20 October 2017

Pia aliandika Epistola paraenetica ad Valerianum cognatum, de contemptu mundi kuhusu kudharau ulimwengu.

Liber formularum spiritalis intelligentiae inatetea uhalali wa kufafanua kiroho Biblia.

Kati ya maandishi yake kuna pia Institutiones ad Salonium, barua na homilia kadhaa, wasifu wa wafiadini wengi n.k. 

Kutokana na sifa yake, alichaguliwa kuwa askofu wa Lyon mwaka 434 hivi; kwa msingi huo hakika alihudhuria Mtaguso wa Orange (441) akaendelea na cheo hicho hadi kifo chake. 

Hapo mwanae Verano alishika nafasi yake, na mwanae mwingine, Saloni, akawa askofu wa Geneva.
