2. Our Local Patron Saint

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   St. Baoithin is the Patron saint of this district. He was born about 530 A.D. and was a contemporary of St. Columbkille.

   The ruins of a monastery which was founded by St. Baoithin may still be seen in the Old Graveyard in the Church Lane, St. Johnston, Co. Donegal. This was build about 550 for educating missionaries to carry the Christian Religion to Europe.

   St. Baoithin was famous for his piety and holiness. St. Columbkille is supposed to have said he was as good as St. John. The village where his monastery was is called St. John's Town or St. Johnston. "Taughboyne" the name of the Parish is derived from the words "teach" a house and "Baoithin" meaning the house or monastery of St. Baoithin.
