What is recorded here
Anthony O'Connell is a birthplace in Lisheen Mine, County Tipperary, Ireland. Perhaps a boy ran home from that field with mud on his knees and fire in his chest. Maybe he carried the smell of rain and soil into American churches later in life. Imagine the small town releasing one of its own into the world without knowing how far he would travel.
Why this person is known: Irish-born U.S. Roman Catholic bishop
