Tone 4
We hymn thee, O Father Seiriol,
for thou didst turn the Welsh wilderness into a fertile vineyard for the Lord.
By this our intercession, O Saint,
we implore thee to pray to Christ our God
that our labours may be blessed and our souls may be saved.

Sainte FAINE (FANCHEA, GARBH), vierge en Irlande (vers 585?).-
Died c. 585. Many amazing stories are related about her in the life of Saint Enda, who is generally regarded as the father of Irish monasticism. Fanchea was an early nun with special capabilities as a directress of souls. She is said to be a native of Clogher, who persuaded her brother, Saint Enda, to become a monk. She was the abbess-founder of a convent at Rossory, Fermanagh, and was buried at Killane

St. Colman Muilinn, of Derrykeighan, County of Antrim
St. Airmedach, Hermetius, or Ermedhach, Abbot of Craibhi-Laisre, probably Creevagh, near Clonmacnoise, King's County.
St. Eochaid, of Uisneach, or Usneagh, County of Westmeath.Eochaid's name, without any other description, is found in the "Martyrology of Tallagh" on to-day. There is a St. Eochod mentioned as a companion of St. Columkille; but the present seems to have been a different person. A festival to Eochaid of Uisneach is entered at this date in the "Martyrology of Donegal
St. Scethe, or Sciath, Virgin and Patroness of Feart-Sceithe, now Ardskeagh, County Cork.Scethe, a virgin, from Fert Sceithe, is found on record in the "Martyrology of Tallagh," at the 1st day of January. From the "Martyrology of Donegal" we learn that veneration was given on this day to Sciath, virgin, and daughter to Meachair, of Feart-Sceithe, in Muscraighe-Aedha. St. Scethe belonged to the race of Conaire, son to Mogh-lamha, monarch of Ireland. Thus she was descended from the race of Heremon. The Church of Fiort-sceithe is placed by the Calendars of Marianus and of the Four Masters in Muscraighe-tri-maighe, or Muskerry of the Three Plains. It is known at present by the name of Ardskeagh, a small parish in that part of Fermoy barony bordering on the baronies of Orrery and Kilmore, county of Cork
St. Fintan, son of Eochach, of Bealach.-Sixth or seventh century. Fintan Mac Eochach, of Bealach, has been set down in the "Martyrology of Tallagh" at the 1st of January. It is not easy to discover where the "bealach," meaning a "pass" or "road," lay. At this date the "Martyrology of Donegal" likewise registers Fuintain, son of Eochaidh, descended from the race of Laeghaire, son to Niall of the Nine Hostages. At the period of his death, which probably occurred sometime about the close of the sixth or beginning of the seventh century, he passed to a blessed life, promised to faithful servants, in the household of the Lord
