Life

Holy Hierarch Finnen is commemorated on 27 September (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 bishop; the editor thinks he is the Bishop Finnen whom Senan left at Inis Cunnla in Crich Ua Sedna in Munster. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.
