Life

Saint Fionan appears on 4 October (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The text suggests this may be the one of 13 February, of the race of Brian son of Eochaidh Muighmedhoin. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.

Commemorated the same day October 4
