Life

Holy Hierarch Caillin of Fiodhnacha is commemorated on 13 November (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrologies of Tallaght and Gorman. He is called a bishop, son of Niatach, of the race of Conmac son of Fergus. A note recalls the story that he turned the druids sent against him by Fergna, king of Breifne, into stones. Little else is known, and the veneration is that of the undivided Church.
