Thanks for this. I stand corrected: the online, Italian-language
version of the new RM has Irmina also (for 24. Dec.):
"Vicino a Treviri, in Gremania, sant’ Irmina, badessa del monastero di
Ohren, la quale, matrona consacrata a Dio, donò a san Villibrordo un
piccolo monastero da lei fatto costruire nella sua città e ne fu anche
generosa benefattrice."
The old version's assertion that she was a daughter of king Dagobert
seems no longer to be present, though.
Adding Trier to the list of likely diocesan suspects did no good: I
could still find no reference quickly to a current celebration of any of
these three. Though, ecumenically enough, Bistum Trier's website does
have Chanukkah on its calendar of events. See:

Best again,
