Life

Colman of Reachrainn appears in the Martyrology of Donegal on 16 June (old style). The text calls him son of Roi; his mother Eithne, daughter of Concraidh, was also the mother of many other saints. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. Nothing else is known; the veneration is local and early Irish, without synodal canonization.

Commemorated the same day June 16
