Saint Fachanan

Saint Fachanan

Saint Fachanan (also known as Saint Fachtna), about whom little is known with certainty, is linked from early times by strong tradition with Kilfenora, where he founded a church or monastery in the sixth century.

He was a founder of the monastery of Rosscarbery (Ros Ailithir), County Cork. He died around 600. His monastery became the principal monastery of West Cork, and later had a famous Scripture school known as the School of Ross.

His feast day is August 14.
