St Cadoc
lived from
approximately 500 – 580 A.D. and began his missionary activity with his
own people in Wales. Near
Cardiff in Glamorganshire, he built a great Abbey at
Llancarvan
and became its first Abbot.
St Cadoc
then extended his missionary activity to Scotland and,
according
to ancient tradition, built a monastery at Cambuslang
and spread the word through Perthshire and Angus.
He was
martyred by the Saxons in 580 A.D. while celebrating mass.
His feast
day is January 24th. Mass
is celebrated for the whole
school by
Canon Cunningham and activities organised to make
this a
memorable day.
