March 13

St. Mochoemoc, in Latin, Pulcherius, Abbot

 
HAVING been educated under St. Comgal, in the monastery of Benchor, he laid the foundation of the great monastery of Liath-Mochoemoc, around which a large town was raised, which still bears that name. His happy death is placed by the chronologists on the 13th of March, in 655. See Usher’s Antiquities in Tab. Chron. and Colgan.  1
