Life

Saint Cronan of Luachair is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as an abbot.

The Donegal text identifies him with Mochua and calls him abbot of Fearna.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 22 June. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.

Nothing else about him is preserved in the sources consulted.
