Who they were
At Dublin in Ireland, the blessed martyrs Conor O'Devany, bishop of Down and Connor, of the Order of Friars Minor, and Patrick O'Loughran, priest, who, condemned for their Catholic faith under King James I, suffered death by hanging.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 1 February as a priest hanged at Dublin with Bishop Conor O'Devany for the Catholic faith under James I.
The cause
Patrick O'Loughran has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Archdiocese of Armagh: Blessed Patrick O'Loughran.
