School Of Mayo
The School of Mayo was an early Catholic monastery in Mayo, Ireland, founded by Saint Colmán of Lindisfarne, 668. It became famous for sanctity and learning, but suffered from raids of natives and foreigners, especially during the 14th century. History The School of Mayo was situated in Mayo, almost equidistant from the towns of Claremorris and Castlebar. The founder, St. Colmán, who lived in the middle of the seventh century, was in all probability a native of the West of Ireland. He did his ecclesiastical studies at Iona, during the abbacy of the renowned Ségéne mac Fiachnaí. After the death of Finan, the second Bishop of Lindisfarne, Colman was appointed to succeed him.
