Life

Saint Cethech was an Irish bishop, called Patrick's bishop. The Martyrology of Donegal links him with Cill-⁠Garadh in the territory of Uí Maine and with Domhnach Sairighe in Cianachta, and says that he was of the Cianachta. He is remembered in the Irish martyrologies. His day of commemoration is 16 June (the date in the Irish martyrologies, in the Julian calendar). No other details of his life have been kept. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
