ST Mona is the patron saint of Sherkin island, and has a townland, Kilmona, a church, St Mona’s, and a proud Sherkin island woman, Mona O’Driscoll, all named in her honour.

“I am so lucky to have a sense of place, and Sherkin is truly home to me. It’s really grounding to know where you come from, and I have so much to be grateful for having grown up here on the island,” reflected Mona.
