Saints celebrated on the 3rd of September
SAINT MACNISIUS, BISHOP
[First Bishop of Connor in Ireland.]
According to Colgan, Saint Macnisius [St MacNissi/MacNessi] was a disciple of St Olcan, who was disciple of St Patrick, and died on November 3, 513.
ACCORDING TO COLGAN, HE WAS A DISCIPLE OF ST OLCAN
But, in the Annals of Tigernach, and in the ancient scholiast of the Aengusian Martyrology, he is mentioned under the 3rd of September.
The annals of Innisfallen place his death in 506. St Macnisius has a proper mass among those approved for Ireland by Clement XII printed at Paris in 1734.
