Diocese of Achonry

This year marks the centenary of the birth of Fr Patrick Peyton - The Rosary Priest - and the diocese of Achonry is especially happy to join in this celebration.  Born in the Parish of Attymass, the young Patrick Peyton emigrated to the United States where he later became a priest of the Holy Cross Conregation.  Devoted to Our Lady, he embarked on a worldwide campagin to promote familiy prayer and, in particular, praying the Rosary.  His catchphrase was "The Family that prays together, stays together" and "A world at prayer is a world at peace".
