Life
Saint Columbanus was an Irish monk and recluse, born in Ireland, who lived as a hermit near the church of Saint Bavo in Ghent in Belgium and reposed in 959. He is not to be confused with Saint Columbanus the Great, founder of the monasteries of Luxeuil and Bobbio, who reposed in 615.
No other details of his life survive. He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 2 February (new style).
