There was a gathering on Wednesday, January 9, 2019, in the Father Peyton Centre, Attymass where Father Tom Mulligan, a priest of the diocese of Achonry, saw the launch of his biography on the life of The Rosary Priest, Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. The book was launched by the Diocesan Administrator, Father Dermot Meehan.
Father Peyton, born 110 years ago, in the parish of Attymass, Ballina, Co Mayo, is undoubtedly its most famous son. Emigrating to the United States in the footsteps of other family members he felt called to the priesthood and entered the seminary, as did his brother Tom.
