Reflections on the Pilgrim’s Journey: Remembering Cahal B. Cardinal Daly

Description

Born in 1917, Cardinal Cahal B. Daly once remarked that he did not remember a time when he did not want to be a priest. Ordained in June 1941 for the diocese of Down & Connor, Cahal B. Daly held the posts of Bishop of Ardagh & Clonmacnoise and Down & Connor, and in 1990 was appointed Archbishop of Armagh, just two years before the usual retiring age for bishops and archbishops. In Reflections on the Pilgrim’s Journey: Remembering Cahal B. Cardinal Daly, a special commemorative book, those who met and worked with Cardinal Daly share their memories of the man who was, in the words of the former Archbishop of Tuam, Joseph Cassidy, `a bit of an oul saint’.
