Life

On 4 June (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Cassan. The text calls him a priest. He is said to be of the race of Laeghaire, son of Niall. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. No life or deeds are recorded, and the cult stayed local, without synodal canonization.
