Felig

Saint Felig was an Irish missionary of the 5th and 6th centuries, venerated in the Western Church. His death date and a day of commemoration are not known.

Local tradition counts him as the founder of Cill Fheilige, "the church of Felig", in the district of Menlough, County Galway. This was said to be the first church founded among the Soghain people. If the tradition is true, Felig was among the first preachers of Christianity in Connacht, perhaps only one or two generations after the mission of Saint Patrick.

In the townland of Kilfelligy a burial vault stands among the overgrown foundations of a later church, probably built on the site of the first. No other traditions or documents about him survive.
