Life
Saint Kentigerna was an Irish hermitess, the mother of Saint Fillan, who reposed in 734.
She was a daughter of Cellach Cualann, king of Leinster. After her husband's death she left Ireland and, with her brother Saint Comgan and her son Fillan, lived as a hermit in Scotland: first at Strath Fillan, then in the Lennox, on the island of Inchcailloch in Loch Lomond. A church there is dedicated to her.
Her feast is listed in the Aberdeen Breviary on 7 January. She is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 7 January (new style).
