Life
Saint Loichein appears on 12 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The martyrology says this may be the Lochan of the family of Eochaidh, son of Muiredh, of the race of Heremon; another Loichein is kept on 12 June. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.
