Portrait of the Blessed

Bishop Fintan Monahan of Killaloe with Navan-based artist Agnieszka Ryan and her portrait of Blessed John Henry Newman, which Tuam Council of Priests had commissioned as a gift for the bishop, a former priest of the Archdiocese of Tuam. Bishop Monahan has long been an admirer of the 19th-Century cardinal, about whom his licentiate thesis was written.
