(From Ward’s Catalogue)

F. TADHG DONALD, of the convent of Bantry1, a famous preacher, and his companion2, were seized by English soldiers near the same monastery. 

They were tied together with their girdles, and thrown into the sea from a high rock. 

Bruodin says they were put to death on the 10th of August.

Notes:

The convent of Bantry was ‘founded by Dermot O’Sullevan, about 1460, on the water’s edge, a mile west of the town. Nothing remains of it now.

Bruodin says the name of Fr Donald’s companion was John Hanly.

Please pray for final perseverance for all of us!
May the martyrs of old inspire us all.
