Bishop of the Isle of Man, died January, 684; an Irish missionary, also known as
Mochonna. He is not to be confounded with St. Conindrius, who is said to have
been a disciple of St. Patrick, and to have lived to be a very advanced age (17
November, 560). The Bollandists place St. 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 St. 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 26
January, but Colgan, quoting from the ancient Irish martyrologies, gives 13
January, on which day St. Conan's feast is observed. There are also several
minor Irish saints of the same name, including St. Conan of Assaroe (8 March),
and St. Conan of Ballinamore (26 April).
