Restorer, Peacemaker, Martyr: St. Oliver Plunkett
By jmcaleer
Though little known in this country, St. Oliver Plunkett (feast day: July 1), archbishop of Armagh, Primate of all Ireland, and ultimately martyr, is revered for rebuilding the Catholic Church in his homeland after the Calvinist ruler of England, Oliver Cromwell, set out to destroy it.
