Life

Saint Modoe of Ailbhe appears on 25 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Gorman. The text reads "Modoe in Ailbhe"; the editor thinks Ailbhe is a place name, probably Cluain Ailbhe or Magh nAilbhe. The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.

Commemorated the same day September 25
