  2. St. Colman Bishop
    Guaire begged the holy man to found a church, and offered him a site for that purpose in his territory.
    The site chosen was Kilmacduagh, about three miles distant from his birthplace at Corker.
    Soon a monastry grew around the Church. St Colman was the first Bishop of Kilmacduagh.
    He died on the 29th October, and he is buried in Kilmacduagh, a short distance west of the Cathederal.
