Life

Holy Hierarch Baoithin son of Guana is commemorated on 19 February (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght. He is called a bishop, son of Guana, of Teach Baoithin in Airteach of Connacht or in the west of Midhe, of the race of Enda son of Niall; his mother was Caomhnat. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
