(From the Barberini Archives, Rome.)
ON March 9th, 1642, the Most Rev. Dr. Comerford, Bishop of Waterford, wrote to a friend resident in Paris Last week, the President of Ulster, having received reinforcements, once more took the field, together with the Earl of Cork, the Earl of Barrymore, Lord Broghill, and Sir John Browne.
Marching to Dungarvan and seizing on the Castle, they set fire to the town and put to death F. Edmund Hore and F. John Clancy, both priests, together with others of the principal citizens.
They then sacked the place, and retired leaving a strong garrison in the Castle.’
Please pray for final perseverance for all of us!
May the martyrs of old inspire us all.
