Feast of St. Mochoemoc, March 13

St. Mochoemoc was the brother of St. Ita. St. Ita taught St. Brendan at a school for boys she founded. St, Brendan went on to great things including founding a school in Clonfert. His nephew, St. Moinenn, became head of the monastic school after Brendan's death. When Moinenn died, his job was taken over by St. Cummian Fada,

I tell what, Ireland was CRAWLIN' with saints back in the day. 

Clonfert Cathedral, built starting in 1180 and dedicated to St. Brendan.
