Life

Holy Hierarch Senchan of Imleach Lubhair is commemorated on 11 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrologies of Tallaght and Gorman. He is called a bishop and abbot, and the entry adds the year 780. A note thinks he may be a brother of Mochua son of Lughaidh. Nothing more is recorded; the cult belongs to the undivided Church.
