99 John Cathan

(From Ward’s Catalogue.) HE made his religious profession on the College of Saint Antony of Padua, Louvain. While he was employed as preacher in the convent of Buttevant, he was seized there by the heretics and cast into prison in Limerick. He died in his chains in the year 1622. On the night of his death a bright flame, like a pillar, was seen by many, shining over the house in which he was lying. Many other wonderful things were seen at the time of his death.
