Hi, The infamous Father Patrick Lavel, an outspoken political activist, was born in Co. Mayo in 1825 and died in 1886. He was ordained in 1851, spent four years in Paris before he was ejected from the Irish college there. He returned to Mayo where he was appointed administrator of Partry, a poor parish on the shores of Lough Mask in Co. Mayo. He later became parish priest of Cong Parish, Co. Mayo. There is an excellent book about Fr. Lavelle titled "A Radical Priest in Mayo" by Gerard Moran. The ISBN is 1-85182-163-5 for hardback and 1-85182-173-2 for paperback. It is published in North America by Four Courts Press, LTD; 5800 N.E. Hassalo S., Betland, OR 97213.
