Life

Venerable Fiachra of Congbhail Gleanna Suilighe is commemorated on 8 February (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght, the Felire of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called an abbot of Congbhail Gleanna Suilighe in Cenel Conaill. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
