St. Kentigerna of Loch Lomond, Widow
(also known as Caentigern, Quentigerna)
Died on Inch Cailleach, Scotland, c. 733-734. Kentigerna was the mother
of Saint Fillan and the daughter of Kelly (Cellach), prince of Leinster.
She married a neighbouring prince, who was the father of Fillan. After
her husband's death, she left Ireland with her missionary brother Saint
Comghan and her son to lead the life of a recluse on the island of Inch
Cailleach (or Inchebroida, according to some), in Loch Lomond, Scotland,
where a church is dedicated in her name. Kentigerna is listed in the
Aberdeen Breviary (Benedictines, Encyclopaedia, Farmer, Montague).
