Life

Saint Tochumra (Tocomracht) was a holy virgin, or possibly two virgins, in medieval Ireland. She is commemorated on 11 June.

According to Alban Butler, one of them was the titular saint of the parish of Tochumracht in the diocese of Kilfenora, whose cathedral bears the name of Saint Fachnan, the first bishop of the see. Another, honoured in the diocese of Kilmore, was much honoured in Ireland on this day and invoked by women in labour. Colgan could find no acts concerning them, and the monks of Ramsgate write that particulars of both are lacking.
