St Crónán, Abbot of Roscrea


From Fr Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints:

A MONASTERY which he founded in the county of Tipperary, in Ireland; which afterwards became a bishop’s see, long since united to that of Killaloe. St. Cronan died about the year 640, and was honored as titular saint of the church of Roscrea, which was possessed of his relics. See Usher’s Antiq., p. 502.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
