Life

Saint Ferghus appears on 8 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The entry adds the epithet Cruithneach, which in Irish means "Pict". The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.
