95 John Honan

(From Bruodin’s Propugnaculum, p.505) HE was a native of Connaught, a priest, and a member of the Franciscan Order. After he had spent many years in religion a model to all of every virtue, and had discharged the office of pastor very zealously among the persecuted Catholics of Leinster, he was seized by the English heretics in Dublin and cast into prison. After six weeks of imprisonment, rejecting with contempt the honours and benefices offered to him in the King’s name if he would change his religion, he was most cruelly tortured, then hanged, and quartered, and so triumphed gloriously October 14th, 1618.
