Like many saints from the first millennium, she was not formally canonised by a Pope. However, St. Brigid is recognised by the Vatican as being a saint.

Church practices were very different in those early Christian days.

Saint Brigid of Ireland was ordained a bishop by Saint Mel or Saint Mac-Caille in and around 468. She then founded two religious institutions, one for women and one for men. She was the abbess and bishop of Kildare together with Saint Conleth whom she chose as co-leader.
