Life

Holy Hierarch Siollan of Magh Bile is commemorated on 25 August (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called bishop and abbot, and the text gives the year 618 for his repose. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
