unusual facts about Patrick Bath


Patrick Bath

F.X. Martin wrote of him – “Though Bath died at Cahors in 1607, before the Irish Mission became a reality, he brought prestige to the Irish Capuchins by his appointment as guardian of the friary at Namur. His prominence among the Capuchins was due to the fact that a bare nine months after profession he was appointed lector of philosophy in the Capuchin study house newly opened at Louvain.” (p. 9).
