1st July Feast of St Oliver Plunkett (1625 - 1681) Archbishop of Armagh & primate of All Ireland
Having been hung, drawn and quartered, his head was eventually recovered from the fire and Dom Maurus Corker had it smuggled to the Benedictine Monastery in Lamspringe, Germany. It then passed on to Cardinal Philip Howard OP at Rome, a friend of St. Oliver, who had helped the Archbishop of Armagh to return to Ireland safely after his ordination as Archbishop. From him, it passed to Oliver’s successor, Archbishop of Armagh Hugh McMahon, who returned the head to its rightful place in Ireland. McMahon brought the head to the Dominican Nuns at Siena, the prioress at the time being Sister Catherin Plunkett, St. Oliver’s grand niece.
The sisters kept the head in good condition for a further 200 years at this point, before it arrived St. Peter’s Parish Church in Drogheda.
St. Oliver Plunkett Ora Pro Nobis.
