Comnatan of Kildare

Saint Comnatan of Kildare was abbess of the monastery of Kildare in Ireland and reposed around 590. She is also called Connat or Comnata.

The sources give no further details of her life; we know only that she led the community at Kildare, the foundation of Saint Brigid.

She is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 1 January (new style).
