Sainte KIARA, moniale en Irlande (680).

Irish nun and disciple of St Fintan Munnu. She founded a small community or, perhaps, lived as a solitary at Nenagh in Co. Tipperary, now known as Kilkeary in her honour. Some calendars give her commemoration as the 5th of January. She died c.680.







Died 868. A Breton by birth, Convoyon became successively deacon of Vannes, recluse, monk at Glanfeuil, and finally, in 831, abbot-founder of the great abbey of Saint Saviour near Redon, Brittany. He was driven from his abbey by the Norsemen and died in exile
