Father, I'm thrilled to have you on board. I am looking forward to hearing more of your unique Irish family history and learning from your insights into the Irish experience. Are you a Franciscan? Ger
Martin, would love to learn more about your vocation, your experience serving as a Capuchin, and the Capuchins' heritage. They provided vital moral support for the Irish Volunteers and Old IRA during the War of Independence as I recall, bucking the more conservative diocesan hierarchy, which tried to keep at arm's length from the revolution until they saw it as a fait accompli.
