It is generally accepted that St. Ciarán was born in Cape Clear Island (Cléire), Co. Cork. Ireland. His memory is revered there and in Seir Kieran, Co Offaly, while Cornish people honour him as St. Piran of Peranzabuloe. In recent times the Parish Council in Peranzabuloe has launched the St Piran Project to bring about the restoration of St. Piran’s Oratory at St. Piran’s in the Sands, which has close associations with St. Kieran of Seir and the Diocese of Ossary in Ireland. This pilgrim island man travelled from Cape Clear to Rome and served the early Christian communities of Munster and part of Leinster as well as ministering in Italy, Brittany, Scotland, Wales and Kernow (Cornwall). Éamon Lankford sets out in concise form some of the much-told aspects of the life of this intrepid, much travelled and much beloved islander. Written in English with the text in Irish of a talk given by the author on Raideo na Gaeltachta, on Lá le Ciarán March 5th 1999. written in english
