IRISH APOSTLES
SONS OF IRELAND CARRIED THE
GOSPEL INTO MANY LANDS
BURIED AMONG THE PEOPLE
THEY EVANGELIzED.

Scarcely Cathedral bell is rung on
the continent of Europe that does not
sound above the remains of some Irish
priest or Bishop. Seldom flower
fades in the clustered cemeteries along
the banks of the yellow Tiber, or
the castled Rhine, that some of it's
leaves do not touch the lonely grave
OF some monk or student from the
green banks of the Shannon or the
Liffey.
The names of Irish students are
carved on the tagged floor of many
an abbey chapel, and on the walls of
many famous shrine from the Tagus
to the Garrone. St. Fridolen sleeps
in his island city of Secklingen, in the
abbey he himself founded for the Ben
ed1ct1nes; the holy remains of st.
F1acre centuries ago were removed
from the oratory of Breuil, and may
now be found near the mausoleum of
Bosceut, behind the high altar in the
Cathedral of Meaux.
The noble martyrs, Kylian, Colman
and Totnan are buried in the princi-
pal church of Wurtzburg. ST. Frigid-
ian lies at rest in the Church of "The
Three Holy Levites," at Lucca, while
Cataldus awaits the Resurrection not
far from the blue waters of the fair
bay of Tarentum, says the Anglo-Cel
of Cavan.
Often the twelve knights of st. Ru-
pert may be seen kneeling by the
tomb of st. Vigilius, in Saltzburg. ST.
Caidoc and st. Fricor are inferred in
the abbey of Centulep in the territory
of Ponthieu, Picardy.
In the collegiate Church of Lens, in
the Diocese of Arras, the body of st.
Vulganus is honored Marianus SEQ
tus, the chronographer was laid to
pious rest in the Church of St. Mar
tin, beyond the walls of the City of
Mentz. st. Tressan calmly reposes at
Avenay, in Champagne.
In a church guarded by the Fort of
Saint Andrew, at Salins, the relics of
ST. Anatolius are pressed in silver
shrine. ST. Maimbodus securely sleeps
in the shade of the castle rock of the
valiant city of Monthelliard. The mag
nificent Cathedral of Mechiin is the
tomb and monument of ST. Rumold-
prince Bishop, martyr.
But to come to a later period of
Irish history. How many Irish stu
dents are laid to rest forever on the
hill of st. Genevieve! How many Of
them sleep their long sleep in Fran
clan Converts of Louvain and Sala-
manca, in the Dominican garden of
Madrid, and in the consecrated ground
belonging to the Jesuits at LisIe, An
twerp, Tourney, ST. Omer, Douay and
Pont-a-Mousson.
Florence Contoy sleeps near the
high altar in the Franciscan Church
of st. Anthony of Padura at Louvain;
Thomas Stapleton's ashes are mingled
with the dust of Belgium's most gifted
sons in the chapel of St Charles Bor-
romeo; Luke Wadding has been laid
near Hugh O'Neil, on st. Peters
Mount.
In the Cistercian monastery at Al
Gala in Spain, William Walsh, from
Waterford, on the SUR, lies in peace.
The grand souled and patriotic
Bishop of Ferns, Nicholas French,
passed away from life's tolls and trou-
bles at Client in Belgium. His veneer
ated body was piously placed at the
foot of the grand altar in the parish
Church of ST. Nicholas in that city. A
slab of purest marble, decorated with
IL Il tel Ea1 -
ings, has a beautiful and truthful in
scription in honor of his memory.
Ambrose Wadding, brother of the
famous Luke Wadding, calmly rests
at DiIlingen; Bishop Edmond O'Dwyer,
who governed the See of Limerick,
lies in the subterranean chapel, dedi-
Gated to the Blessed Virgin, beneath
the Church Of st. James in the city Of
Brussels.
