Years before Patrick arrived in Ireland, Saint Declan was the Bishop of Ardmore. As an ancient Saint, there are few details of his life, except that he was a model for generosity. It is said beggars followed him wherever he went. We also have many wonderful remains where Declan lived in Ardmore. There is a beautiful round tower, the ruins of a cathedral, and a second church beside a holy well. There is also primitive oratory and some inscribed pillar stones.
His feast day is July 24.
