There are literally hundreds of saints from Ireland.
Here, I'll just list a small token few,
and add just a wee bit o'
history of each as I have it. If you find yourself
interested in this subject, I encourage you to go
to Catholic Online dot org---click on the saints and
angels link and there you'll be able to find
short biographies on all known saints and blessed
angels, along with the feast days associated with
each. It's a very unique and educational experience.
