Comemorate 9th June date of appointment in 1625 of Baothgalach Mac Aodhagáin, the contemporary Bishop of Elphin
1642. RAYMOND KEOGHY, O.P.
(From the Acts of the General Chapter, OP., 1656[1])
THIS year F. Keoghy, of the Convent of Roscommon,[2] was seized by the heretics and put to death through hatred of the Catholic faith, and so found eternal life in death.
The Acts of the General Chapter of 1644 make mention of another of this name, who. De Burgo thinks, must be a different person from the above, for the one was a priest, the other a lay-brother.

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