Life
Venerable Fechin is commemorated on 22 February (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 priest, with no place or parentage. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
