Lecture on life of martyred priest of Scariff
A lecture on the life and martyrdom of South Kerry priest Fr Francis O’Sullivan OFM will take place at Killarney Friary on Monday, November 9th, organised by the Kerry branch of Cumann na Sagart.
The bilingual lecture will be led by Fr Billy Hoyne OFM and will begin at 8pm at the shrine of Fr O’Sullivan, known as Bráthar Rua na Scairbhe, in the Friary church.
Born in Waterville in 1591, Fr O’Sullivan continued his priestly ministry in Ireland during the Penal era, defying orders to leave the country. He celebrated Mass, administered the sacraments and preached in secret, but his refusal to comply with the banishment order was regarded as an act of treason.
