Cellach (Ceilach, Keilach) (d. 9th century), The Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland and the abbot of Iona, Scotland. He was the founder of the monastery of Kells. Feast day: April 1.

Cellach (Cellach Mac Aedh, Celsus) (d. 1129), The last hereditary archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, who named St. Malachy, his nephew, as his successor when he died on April 1 at Ardpatrick, in Munster. He was a native of Ireland and was possibly a Benedictine of Glastonbury. Cellach taught at Oxford, England, until 1106, when he became archbishop of Armagh at the age of twenty-six, serving there with distinction. Feast day: April 1.

Caidoc and Fricor (d. 7th century), Irish missionaries in Northern France. One of their converts was St. Ricarius (Saint-Riquier). Their relics are in the parish of Saint-Riquier near Amines, France. In some lists Fricor is called Adrian. Feast day: April 1.

Holy Saints Cellach, Cellach mac Aedh, Caidoc and Fricor,

Pray for us.
