    (continued from previous page)
    martyrologies place his "natalis" on January 20th, on which day a patron and fair, called Molaga's fair, are, or used to be held in Kildorrery. There is no written record of Molaga having visited Timoleague, but local tradition and the name of the place indicate that at an early period a cell or perhaps a monastery was founded there, either by him, or by his direction or under his invocation.
    Timoleague village is said to have grown up around a monastery founded in the 7th century by St Molaga.
