Saint NEACHTAIN, parent de saint Patrick d'Irlande (après 461).
5th century. Saint Neachtain was present at the death of his near relative Saint Patrick of Ireland
Saint GERMAIN dit "de la Mer", "le Scot", "à la Rouelle" ou "de Senarpont", Ecossais de nation, évêque régionnaire, missionnaire en Normandie, en Euskarie / Pays basque et autres lieux, martyr par la main d'un seigneur païen (vers 490).
Died c. 460. It may be hard to believe that someone named Germanus of Normandy originated either in Ireland or Wales, but it is true. Today's saint was converted by Saint Germanus of Auxerre, whose name he took, when the bishop was visiting Britain. Today's saint worked as a bishop with Saint Patrick and is alleged to have evangelized in Wales, Spain, Gaul, and the Isle of Man. Some regard Germanus as the Apostle of the Isle of Man. He was martyred in Normandy
St. Gennys-Date unknown. Saint Gennys is often confused with Saint Genesius of Arles, but the patron of Cornwall has his own feast today, which may point to the fact that he is a different individual and an obscure, local founder. He may more properly be identified with Saint Genesius the Martyr, whose head was translated on July 19 to Lismore. To add to the confusion, the famous Germanus of Auxerre is also known as Gennys or Genewys
St. Gluvias
6th century. Saint Gluvias may have been sent to Cornwall by his brother, Saint Cadoc of Llancarfan. There he laid the foundation for a monastery and a parish commemorates his name
Troparion of St Gluvias
Tone 2
O glorious Father Gluvias,
thou didst bring the light of Christ to Cornwall
while thy brother holy Cadoc enlightened Wales.
As thou dost intercede for all mankind,
pray to Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.
St. Ultan of Peronne, Abbot Bishop
Died c. 686. Ultan, an Irish monk like his brothers Saints Fursey and Foillan, went with them on a missionary journey to East Anglia. There, with Fursey, he founded Burghcastle Monastery near Yarmouth but migrated to France and the Abbey of Saint-Quentin, then to Belgium, to escape raiding Mercians. His brother Foillan built and became abbot of Fosses Monastery on land given to him by Blessed Itta and her daughter Saint Gertrude of Nivelles. During this time Ultan was chaplain to Gertrude's convent and taught them chant. He succeeded his brother in the abbacy at Fosses and later he became abbot of a monastery at Perrone, where he died. He was buried in Fosses Abbey
