Extractions: [Home] [Towns] [Heritage Towns Home] info@heritagetowns.com The brief stories of the holy men and women related in this book are as authentic as modern scholarship can render them. Most belong to the period 400-800 AD when Christianity was being rooted and re-rooted in Western Europe, but the inclusion of some moderns shows that there are still many Irish saints about - all covered by the blanket Feast of All Saints of Ireland, which is solemnised each year on 6 November. Brendan of Birr (d. 573) was a contemporary of St Brendan the Voyager and a friend of Colum Cille, who had a vision of his body being carried to heaven by angels. His foundation was at Parsonstown in County Offaly. His feast day is 29 November. Brigid aka Bride (c. 450 - 525) Cathal aka Cathaldus (d. c. 681) was born in Munster and studied at, and eventually became master of, Lismore. He is said to have been asked to fill the vacant see of Taranto in southern Italy c. 666 on his way home from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and for the remainder of his life he served as its prelate. He is venerated still in Taranto, where his huge statue guards the port and a fresh water stream in the bay is known as l'annello di san Cathaldo, the ring of St Cathaldus, as it marks the place where he is believed to have stilled a storm by throwing his ring into the sea. He was the patron saint of the Italian army during World War 1, and his feast day is 10 May.

He founded a church, Cill Mhainchin on Inis Sibhton, now King's Island. Today the Protestant church of Saint Munchin stands on the site of the early church. January 15 Saint Ita, virgin Saint Ita is the most famous woman saint in Ireland after Saint Brigid, and is known as the Brigid of Munster. She is said to have been of royal lineage, born in one of the baronies of Decies near Drum in County Waterford, and called Deirdre. An aristocrat wished to marry her, but after prayer and fasting for three days and supposedly with divine help, she convinced her father to allow her to lead the life of a maiden. She migrated to Killeedy in the western part of Limerick, and founded a community of women dedicated to God, which soon attracted many young women. She also founded and directed a school. Many Irish saints were taught by her for years. For this reason she is often called foster-mother of the saints of Ireland.

This diocese is almost coterminous with the ancient Celtic territory of Decies; it comprises the County of Waterford (except five townlands) with a considerable portion (two baronies and part of two others) of Tipperary County, as well as a small area (12,000 acres) of County Cork. The population is 131,636, of whom 124,367 are Catholics, ministered to by one bishop and 122 secular priests. The diocesan chapter, in abeyance since the seventeenth century, was revived with modifications in the last decade. In addition to the secular clergy, there are three houses of Franciscans, a Cistercian abbey, and one community each of Dominicans, Augustinians, Fathers of Charity, and Congregation of the Divine Pastor. There are thirty houses of nuns and ten of brothers, including the (Irish) Christian Brothers , whose parent house is Waterford, and the Brothers of the Christian Schools (de La Salle) . The following orders or congregations of nuns are represented: Presentation; Ursuline; Our Lady of Mercy; Sisters of the Poor; Good Shepherd; Sisters of Charity; Loreto; Carmelite; Sisters of St. John of God; Sisters of Le Bon Sauveur; and Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny. All communities of brothers and the majority of the female religious are engaged in educational work.
Early Celtic Soul Friendship Edward Sellner A story about Saint Declan of Ardmore, a fourthcentury Irish missionary-bishopto whom, we are told, thousands of men and women came for spiritual guidance http://www.aislingmagazine.com/aislingmagazine/articles/TAM19/Friendship.html
Extractions: Contents Early Celtic Soul Friendship Part Three By looking at the Lives of the early Celtic saints Ed Sellner gives a detailed description of what soul-friendship entailed. Among other things it involved great affection, intimacy, mutuality and challenge. By Edward Sellner M ain sources for an understanding of the anamchara are the Lives of the early Celtic saints. For more than six centuries, from the 600s to well beyond 1200 C.E., monastic hagiographers in the Celtic churches of Ireland, Northern England, Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and Brittany composed the Lives of literally hundreds of Celtic saints. As well as the two traditions of spiritual guidance that shaped this form of ministry, hagiographies provide a wealth of information about soul friendship and its immersion in the everyday life and spirituality of Celtic Christianity. These writings reveal how common soul-friend relationships were between men and men, women and women, and women and men and, as the story of Brigit and the young cleric in part one of this series shows, the importance of everyone having a soul friend, including the laity. The symbolic language of these hagiographies also offers, I believe, insights into the meaning of soul-friend relationships that transcend that early history.

Extractions: We praise thee, O glorious Hierarch. St. Declan, son of Erc, chief of the Desii, was born at the beginning of the fifth century near Lismore, Co. Waterford. As a young boy he was sent to fosterage with a certain Dimma, who is said to have been a foreigner and a Christian. While under Dimma's guardianship, Declan was converted and baptised by one of the several Irish saints named Colman. After leaving Dimma, Declan went to Rome, where he studied for the priesthood and was later consecrated bishop. On his return to Ireland, he established a monastic community at Ardmore and was later confirmed in this office by St. Patrick himself. Surpising as it may seem, Declan was well known as an active missionary in Ireland prior to the coming of St. Patrick, the great organiser of Irish Christianity.

Extractions: Sacred Texts Sagas and Legends Celtic Index ... Next A LEGEND OF ST. MOGUE [a] OF FERNS. Somewhat more hasty was the proceeding of another saintly architect. St. Declan, when he was building the great round tower at Ardmore in Waterford, was much annoyed by the chatter and questions of an inquisitive woman (the colour of her hair is not recorded). So just as the cap was being placed on the lofty building, he took a shovel that happened to be at hand, and putting it under her feet, skilfully pitched her to the summit, where her skeleton was afterwards discovered in situ! In the monastery of Innisfallen there flourished, in the days of Brian Boroimhe, a remarkable scholar, by name Maelsuthain O'Carroll, who enjoyed the honour of being confessor and private secretary to the Irish Alfred. There is a specimen of his handwriting extant in old Latin (Irish' letters), made in the year 1002, in the Book of Armagh, in the presence of King Brian himself on occasion of one of his visits. The object of the entry was to confirm the supremacy of the Archbishop of Armagh over him of Cashel, and the other Irish dignitaries. The translation is subjoined. The curious may see the original in the College Library, at folio 16 of the book "St. Patrick, going up to heaven, commanded that all the fruit of his labour, as well of baptisms as of causes and of alms, should be carried to the Apostolic City, which is called
