Fr Edward Flanagan and Fr Patrick Peyton are both natives of our dioceses and left Ireland for the United States of America after completing their secondary school education at home. Hearing the call from God to join the priesthood, they have made a great impact on the lives of so many. Both priests have been declared Venerable by the Holy See, meaning one step closer to sainthood.  Two Visitor’s Centres have been set up in their homeplaces and you most welcome to visit – The Father Peyton Centre, Attymass and The Father Flanagan Visitor Centre, Ballymoe   Read more about their own stories below.
