Life

Saint Mannacus (Manaccus) was, in the sixth century, abbot of Caer Gybi (Holyhead) on the isle of Anglesey in Wales, and was connected with Saint Cuby. He seems to have reposed in Cornwall, and Manaccan near Falmouth is said to owe its name to him. He is commemorated on 14 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no further details of his life.
