Life

Holy Hierarch Corcan is commemorated on 7 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a bishop; another Corcan, a pilgrim and bishop, is kept on 30 September. The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.
