Saint Conleth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Conleth is believed to have come from the Wicklow area. While living as a hermit he was persuaded by Saint Brigid to act as priest for her community in Kildare. He was venerated as a great saint. Cogitosus, in his Life of Brigid, calls him bishop and abbot of the monks of Kildare. He was buried beside Brigid in the great church there.
