“Trappist Throwback Tuesday”
A really interesting photograph this week. We could give it the title of “The Rosrcea Priests. The image from Sunday 21st July 1957 shows (L to R) Fr Vincent Dooley (Rosemary St, Roscrea.) Fr Laurence Walsh ocso Monk of Mount Saint Joseph Abbey (Rosemary St, Roscrea.) Fr Canning (Roscrea) Bishop Joseph Rodgers, Fr Bernard Kiely ocso Monk of Mount Saint Joseph Abbey (Ballycrine) and Fr Cronan Torpey ofm (Limerick St, Roscrea)
Fr Bernard Kiely ocso was the uncle of Dr Berry Kiely of the Pro Life Campaign Ireland who visited Mount St Joseph Abbey, Roscrea last Friday to give a presentation to the monastic community on the work that are carrying out and the challenges they are facing in the lead up to the referendum on the 8th Amendment of the Constitution. Dr Berry’s presentation was extremely informative and greatly appreciated by every member of the community. The fact that the Question & Answer session ran overtime is always a great indicator of how engaged everyone was and also of Dr Berry’s excellent presentation skills.
