Footnotes:
1. The history of the first Abbots of Condate, compiled, according to
F. Chifflet, in 1252, mentions translation of the relics of St.
Eugendus, when they were enshrined in the same Church of St. Peter,
which had been made with great solemnity, at which this author had
assisted, and of which he testifies that he had already wrote the
history here quoted. F. Chifflet regrets the loss of this piece, and
adds that the girdle of St. Eugendus, made of white leather, two
fingers broad, has been the instrument of miraculous cures, and that
in 1601 Petronilla Birod, a Calvinist woman in that neighborhood,
was converted to the Catholic faith, with her husband and whole
family, having been suddenly freed from imminent danger of death and
child-bearing, and safely delivered by the application of this
relic.
2. The rich abbey of St. Claude gave rise to a considerable town built
about it, which was made an episcopal see by pope Benedict XIV., in
1743: who, secularizing the monastery, converted it into a
cathedral. The canons, to gain admittance, must give proof of their
nobility for sixteen degrees, eight paternal and as many maternal.
St. Romanus was buried at Beaume, St. Lucinius at Leu{}nne, and St.
Oyend at Condate: whence this last place for several ages bore his
name.

S. FANCHEA, OR FAINE, V.

HER feast has been kept for time immemorial in the parish church of
Rosairthir, in the diocese of Clogher, in Ulster: and at Kilhaine near
mount Bregh, on the borders of Meath, where her relics have been in
veneration. She seems to have been an abbess, and is thought to have
flourished in the sixth century, when many eminent saints flourished in
Ireland. Her name was not known to Bollandus or Sir James Ware. See
Chatelain.

S. MOCHUA, OR MONCAIN, ABBOT,

OTHERWISE CALLED CLAUNUS.

HAVING served his prince in the army, he renounced the world, and
devoted himself to God in a monastic state, with so much fervor as to
become a model of perfection to others. He is said to have founded
thirty churches, and one hundred and twenty cells, and passed thirty
years at one of these churches, which is called from him Teach Mochua,
but died at Dayrinis on the 1st of January, in the ninety-ninth year of
his age,
