Vouga

Saint Vouga (also called Vougar, Veho, Feock, Fiech, Vougay or Vie) was an Irish priest or bishop of the sixth century, who died in 585 according to some lists, and who settled in Brittany and lived as a hermit near Lesneven. He tried to live in solitude but could not avoid the people who came to him for cures, drawn by his reputation.

The sources do not agree in detail. An English martyrology calls him a priest of Armagh who came to Cornwall, where he lived as a hermit until his death and where he is the patron of Llanlivery. In Brittany he is honoured chiefly at Tréguennec, where his relics are said to have been preserved. Baring-⁠Gould writes that he is thought to have been an Irish bishop who sailed across the sea on a stone, but he considers that the tradition arose from a rock offshore called "the Ship". He is commemorated on 15 June as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
