Life

Saint Laisren of Mena is commemorated on 16 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Felire of Oengus. Mena is the name of a river in Laoighis, and he was of the race of Cathaoir Mor, high king of Ireland. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
