Connell, aka Saint Connell, was a late 5th-early 6th century missionary among the Soghain of what is now County Galway. Nothing appears to be known of the background of Connell. He was appointed Bishop of Aughrim by Saint Patrick; the site of his church is now believed to be at Foats or Levallynearl townland in the parish. The adjoining parish of Clontuskert contains the townlands of Crossconnell More and Crossconnell Beg, which commemorate his name. Aughrim parish is bordered on the north by the parish of Kilgerrill, and there is a tradition concerning a dispute between Connell and Saint Kerrill, though this tradition is believed to have its roots in a dispute between the parishes as much as a thousand years later.

  • Connell, aka Saint Connell, was a late 5th-early 6th century missionary among the Soghain of what is now County Galway. Nothing appears to be known of the background of Connell. He was appointed Bishop of Aughrim by Saint Patrick; the site of his church is now believed to be at Foats or Levallynearl townland in the parish. The adjoining parish of Clontuskert contains the townlands of Crossconnell More and Crossconnell Beg, which commemorate his name. Aughrim parish is bordered on the north by the parish of Kilgerrill, and there is a tradition concerning a dispute between Connell and Saint Kerrill, though this tradition is believed to have its roots in a dispute between the parishes as much as a thousand years later. According to : "... it is clear that St Kerrill and St Connell were contemporaries of St Patrick and as such they belonged to the fifth century. Both were disciples of his who were raised to the episcopate and placed over churches by him. Their respective ecclesiastical territories are likely to have bordered each other at the Ballinure river which formed part of the southern boundary of Sodhan. Under these circumstances one cannot rule out the possibility of conflict arising over disputed areas of jurisdiction which would have given rise to the legendary disagreement between these two fifth-century evangelists." In the life of Saint Attracta it is told that she "approached her brother, St Connell, seeking permission to erect a nunnery close to his own foundation. He prevailed upon St. Dachonna (Conainne) to request his sister not to build in the area. St Attracta complied with her brother's wishes but was very displeased and is said to have denounced his church." Since the 16th century he has mistakenly been credited with the foundation of Kilconnell, which was instead founded by Conainne, a female missionary. (en)
  • San Connell, o Conal, fue un misionero irlandés a finales del siglo V y principios del VI en la zona de Soghain en el actual Condado de Galway. Parece que nada se conoce de los antecedentes de Connell. Fue nombrado obispo de Aughrim por San Patricio; el sitio de su iglesia se cree estuvo en Foats o Levallynearl. La parroquia contigua de Clontuskert contiene los pueblos de Crossconnell More y Crossconnell Beg, los cuales conmemoran su nombre. La parroquia de Aughrim limita al norte con la parroquia de Kilgerrill, y existe una tradición respecto de una disputa entre Connell y San Kerrill, aunque se cree que esta tradición tiene sus raíces en una disputa entre las parroquias tanto como mil años más tarde. Según Joseph Mannion: "... Está claro que San Kerrill y San Connell fueron contemporáneos de San Patricio y como tal pertenecieron al siglo quinto. Ambos fueron discípulos suyos que fueron elevados al episcopado y colocados sobre las iglesias por él. Sus territorios eclesiásticos respectivos probablemente se limitaban uno al otro en el río Ballinure, que formaba parte de la frontera sur de Sodhan. En estas circunstancias no se puede descartar la posibilidad de que surgieran conflictos sobre áreas de jurisdicción en disputa que habrían dado lugar al desacuerdo legendario entre estos dos evangelistas del siglo quinto." En la vida de Santa Attracta se dice que ella "se acercó a su hermano, San Connell, buscando permiso para levantar un convento cerca de su propia fundación. Pero prevaleció Santa Dachonna (Conainne) para pedir que su hermana no construyera en el área. Santa Attracta cumplió con los deseos de su hermano pero estaba muy disgustada y se dice que denunció a su iglesia." Desde el siglo XVI se le atribuye erróneamente la fundación de Kilconnell, que fue fundado por una mujer misionera, Conainne. (es)
