Donald of Ogilvy

Our venerable and God-bearing Father Donald of Ogilvy , Confessor of Scotland (d. circa 716) (also Donivald, Donevald, Domhnall, Donwald ) 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, cultivating the land by hand, and eating barely bread and water once a day. After St. Donald's repose, his daughters all entered a monastery in Abernethy, founded by Ss. Darlugdach and Brigid , where they became known as the Nine Maidens , or the Nine Holy Virgins.
