County Longford Historical Society lecture explore the lives of some distinguished Dominicans from the county
The first lecture of County Longford Historical Society’s new season will take place on Wednesday, October 9, when Fr Tom Murray PP will speak about the Dominican Order in County Longford.
The lecture takes place in Teallach Íosa (The Family Centre), St Mel’s Road, Longford, at 8pm and all are welcome.
The Dominicans arrived in Ireland 800 years ago and gradually established themselves all around the island.
They founded a priory in Longford town around 1400 and, after the Reformation, had a house near Kenagh.
The lecture will explore these points and also the lives of some distinguished Dominicans from the county.
Fr Tom Murray is Parish Priest of Clonbroney and the diocesan archivist. He is a well-known local historian, a vice-chairman of the historical society and its newsletter editor.
He has lectured to the society on several previous occasions.
