Life
Saint Colman son of Cron is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.
The Donegal text gives only his father's name and no place.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 8 July. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
The sources consulted record nothing more about him.
