Fr Dan Carroll - Reflecting on the Salesian centenary in Ireland 1919 - 2019 (Programme excerpt)

On this weeks programme Fr Dan Carroll joins John and Shane to share about the Salesian order founded by St John Bosco which is celebrating its centenary in Ireland in 2019. The Salesians came to Ireland in 1919, on the invitation of Dr Louis Hallinan, the Bishop of Limerick. On the feast day of the Immaculate Conception, 8th December 1919, four Salesians, led by Fr Sutherland, arrived in Copsewood House, Pallaskenry, Co. Limerick. They opened an Agricultural College, the first foundation of the Salesians in Ireland. Fr Dan takes us through who Don Bosco was, and the history and current ministries of the Salesians in Ireland as they mark this important milestone in their history but also look to the future. Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
