  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 13th of January WELCOME! SAINT CONAN, BISHOP OF THE ISLE OF MAN Saint Conan, Bishop of the Isle of Man, died January, 684. He was an Irish missionary, also known as Mochonna. He is not to be confounded with Saint Conindrius , who is said to have been a disciple of Saint Patrick, and to have lived to be a very advanced age (November 17, 560). The Bollandists place Saint Conan amongst the early bishops of Man, and Colgan gives an account of his life and labours. Unfortunately the history of the Isle of Man in the fifth and sixth centuries is very obscure, and it is difficult to get at definite facts, yet Saint Conan, or Mochonna, who is also described as "Bishop of Inis-Patrick " left a distinct impress of his zeal for souls in Manxland . Some authorities give the date of his death as January 26 , but Colgan, quoting from the ancient Irish martyrologies, gives January 13, on which day Saint Conan's feast is observe...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH Saints celebrated on the 5th of March SAINT CONON OF BIDA, MARTYR Saint Conon is styled a martyr at Bida in Isauria . A native of that city, he lived in the days of the apostles. It is said of him that he had such power over the devils that he could do with them what he liked. He therefore not only compelled them to confess the true God, but also ordered them to till the field, and to take care of the fruit. Some of them he even shut up in bowls which he sealed securely so that they could not escape, and laid them under the foundation of a house which he was building.  After Conon's death, some citizens were planning to transform his house, and in ripping open the foundations the bowls were found. Because they were sealed, some builders reckoned that they contained gold; only when the seals were opened did flames erupt and the building collapsed.  Having been called before the governor Magnus because of his zealous confession of the Christ...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 21st of September CONON, POPE  ⬅️ Saintly Popes - Index His date of birth is unknown; he died, after a long illness, September 21, 687. The son, seemingly, of an officer in the Thracesian troop, he was educated in Sicily and ordained priest at Rome.  His age, venerable appearance, and simple character caused the clergy and soldiery of Rome, who were in disagreement, to put aside their respective candidates and to elect him as pope.  He was consecrated (October 21, 686) after notice of his election had been sent to the Exarch of Ravenna, or after it had been confirmed by him. He received the Irish missionaries, St Kilian and his companions, consecrated Kilian bishop, and commissioned him and the others to preach the Faith in Franconia. (Vita S. Kiliani, in Canisius, Lect. Antiquæ, III, 175-180.)  He was in favour with the savage Emperor Justinian II who informed him that he had recovered the Acts of th...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 26th of January WELCOME! SAINT CONON, BISHOP OF THE ISLE OF MAN  If we can give credit to some lives of Saint Fiaker , and the old Breviary of Limoges, that saint was son of Eugenius, king of Scotland, and by his father committed in his childhood, with his two brothers, to the care of St Conon, from which saintly education he received that ardent love and perfect spirit of piety, by which he was distinguished during the whole course of his life.  A SAINT FROM HIS INFANCY Conon, by the purity and fervour in which he served God, was a saint from his infancy. The Isle of Man, which was a famous ancient seat of the Druids, is said to have received the seeds of the Christian faith, by the zeal of St Patrick.  THE BISHOPRIC St Conon, passing thither from Scotland, completed that great work, and is said to have been made bishop of Man, or of Sodor , supposed by these authors to have been anciently a town in this is...
