St. Blaithmaic of Iona, Martyr
(Blaithmac, Blathmac, Blaithmale)

Died c. 823; feast day formerly on January 15. Blaithmac was an Irish abbot, who, desiring martyrdom, crossed over to England, which was then prey to the heathen Danes.







St. Albert of Cashel, Bishop
7th century; feast day may also be January 8. A 12th-century "vita" describes Saint Albert with the pun: by race an Angle, in speech an angel (natione Anglus, conversatione angelus). According to rather unreliable accounts, Saint Albert was an Englishman who laboured in or was archbishop of Cashel, Ireland, and afterwards evangelized Bavaria with Saint Erhard (f.d. January 8). He made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and died shortly after his return to Ratisbon (Regensburg, Germany). Unfortunately, the diocese of Cashel did not exist then, so this is an obscure point in his life. He is the patron saint of Cashel, Ireland 

St. Fillan of Strathfillan, Abbot
(Foelan, Foellan, Foilan, Foillan, Fulan)-Early 8th century; in Ireland his feast is celebrated on January 9 which is the day of his death.


St. Wulstan of Worcester-Bishop of Worcester & confessor, 1008 - 1095. The last bishop of England to receive his pastoral staff from a Saxon king, Saint Edward the Confessor; one of the very few, by Divine intervention, to have kept his Seat after the arrival of William the Conqueror.



Saint Dunchadh Ua Brain of Clonmacnoise, January 19
