Life
Finche is listed in the Martyrology of Donegal under 25 January (old style). The entry calls her a virgin. The same name also stands on that day in the Martyrology of Tallaght and in the Martyrology of Gorman. Nothing else is known; the veneration is local and early Irish, without synodal canonization.
