ST. CRONAN, ABBOT OF ROSCREA

A MONASTERY which he founded in the county of Tipperary, in Ireland; which afterwards became a bishop’s see, long since united to that of Killaloe. St. Cronan died about the year 640, and was honored as titular saint of the church of Roscrea, which was possessed of his relics. See Usher’s Antiq., p. 502.
