Saint Conan
Saint Conan (; 7th century – January 684) was a bishop of the Isle of Man and an Irish missionary. Life Conan is not to be confused with St Conindrius (died 17 November 560), who is said to have been a disciple of St Patrick, Saint Patrick, and to have lived to a very advanced age. The Bollandists place Saint Conan amongst the early Bishop of Sodor and Man, bishops of Man, and John Colgan gives an account of his life and labours. Unfortunately, the history of the Isle of Man in the fifth and sixth centuries is very obscure, and it is difficult to verify biographical details. However, Conan, who is also described as "Bishop of Inis-Patrick" left a distinct impression of his zeal for souls in the Isle of Man.
