Life

Saint Faithlenn appears on 5 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The text suggests this may be Faithlenn, a deacon, son of Aedh Damhain, of Munster, of the race of Core. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
