Life

Saint Maedoc (Maedhog, Aedhan, Mogue) was an abbot in Ireland in the sixth century; his main monastery was Clonmore. The same name is borne by Saint Máedóc of Ferns (about 558 to 632), the first bishop of Ferns and founder of thirty churches; it is not certain whether they are the same person. He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 11 April (new style; 24 April in the old style).

Commemorated the same day April 11
