Saint Colman of Templeshambo
Born	6th century
Died	c. 595
Honored in	Roman Catholicism
Feast	October 27

Saint Colman of Templeshambo was a Catholic saint from Connacht, Ireland. He has been confused with the patron of Kilmacduagh, but he lived somewhat earlier, and the sphere of his ministry lay in the present County Wexford. He was a contemporary of Saint Aidan, who appointed him Abbot of Templeshambo, the mother church of Enniscorthy.

Many legends are told of Saint Colman and of his holy well with its sacred ducks, but certain it is that he laboured zealously at the foot of Mount Leinster, his monastery being known as Temple Sean Bothe. He died c. 595 on October 27, which is his feast day, as recorded in the "Martyrology of Donegal".
