Mochuda
Saint Mochuda (also known as Carthage of Lismore or Carthage the Younger) was an Irish bishop and abbot of the sixth and seventh centuries. His feast day is May 14.
The saint was the student of Saint Carthage the Elder. He founded a monastery at Rahan in Leinster, from which he was expelled by the king due to the jealousy of neighboring abbots. By then an old man, he and his followers moved south and founded the settlement of Lismore in Munster. He left a "monastic rule" or set of laws for governing a monastery.
His Life is preserved in both a Latin and Irish version; the latter was translated into English by Rev. P. Power in 1914.
