ENGLISH SPEAKING SAINTS February 17
St. Fintan, 603 A.D. Abbot and disciple of St. Columba. Fintan was a hermit in Clonenagh, Leix, Ireland. When disciples gathered around his hermitage he became their abbot. A wonder worker, Fintan was known for clairvoyance, prophecies, and miracles. He also performed very austere penances. 
St. Fortchern, 6th century. Bishop of Trim, Ireland. He was converted by St. Loman. Fortchern became a hermit in Meath, retiring from his see after a few years. 
St. Loman, 450 A.D. Bishop of Trim, in Meath, Ireland, the son of Tigris, the sister of St. Patrick. He accompanied St. Patrick to Ireland and converted a local chieftain. Another tradition dates Loman to the seventh century, denying his relationship to St. Patrick.
