Life

Saint Loichein of Munster is commemorated on 20 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a son of Dubh Dlighidh, also named Molaga, of Tulach Min Molaga in Munster and of Lann Beachaire in Fine Gall, of the race of Fearghus son of Ross. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
