16th December 1565 ROGER CONGAILL AND CONOR MAC VARRA, O.S.F.
(From Hueber’s Menologlum, p. 2327)
The Franciscan convent of Armagh was founded in 1263 by Maelpatrick OScannell, Archbishop of Armagh.
ON the 16th December, in the primatial city of Armagh, Roger Congaill and Cornelius Mac Varra were seized by a certain heretic named Donald, through hatred of the Catholic faith.
They were stripped of their religious habits, cruelly scourged, and taken through the public streets of the city.
In fine, worn out by the scourging they died victims of God.
See also Wadding.
A part of it is still standing. See Reeves’ Ancient Churches ofArmagh, p32. He says it was destroyed in 1565.
See Stuart’s History of Armagh, p.512
Please pray for final perseverance for all of us!
May the martyrs of old inspire us all.
