Life

Holy Hierarch Finnen of Magh Bile is commemorated on 10 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a bishop, of the race of Fiatach Finn, high king of Ireland, from whom the Dal Fiatach descend. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
