Troparion of St Kenan tone 1
As a witness to the steadfastness of the Faith of Christ,/ thou didst
erect to His glory Ireland's first cathedral of stone, O Hierarch
Kenan,/ where thou didst labour for the salvation of men's souls./
Wherefore O Saint, pray that our labours may be blessed and bear fruit/
that many may be led into the Way of Salvation.

Troparion of St Colman of Cloyne tone 8
Leaving thy post as bard of Cashel and embracing the monastic life, O
Father Colman,/ thou didst employ thy God-given poetic talents teaching
our holy and saving faith./ Wherefore O Saint, pray to God that He would
bestow again the gift of words that the Faith may be taught in these
islands for the salvation of many souls.
