Donald of Ogilvy
Our venerable and God-bearing Father Donald of Ogilvy, Confessor in Scotland (d. c.716) (also Donivald, Domhnall) was a widower who lived a monastic life with his nine daughters. His feast day is July 15.
St. Donald lived in in Olgivy, in Forfarshire, Scotland in the early part of the 8th Century. Upon the death of his wife, he and his nine daughters began to live a monastic lifestyle at home under his direction. They became known as the Nine Maidens, or the Holy Nine Virgins, and after his repose entered a monastery in Abernethy, founded by Ss. Darlugdach and Brigid.
