  1. Our Local Patron Saint

    Share Share Post
    The name of the saint connected with Cloyne and district is Saint Colman.
    The Roman Catholic Church is called after him and also the Protestant Cathedral.
    A statue of Saint Colman is erected right over the main door of the Catholic Church.
    It is said that the saint built the Round Tower in one night. Saint Colman is buried in Cloyne.
    Saint Colman's Young Men's Society Hall is called after him too.
    I mentioned in the last composition about the well dedicated to him. Saint Colman's day falls on 24th of November, but is not a holiday of obligation.
