What is recorded here
John Kirby is a birthplace in Athlone, County Westmeath, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who became an Irish bishop first heard God's voice in the quiet rooms of that house. Maybe he walked the same streets as an ordinary child before carrying a heavier title. Imagine the marble altars of his later life beginning as a kitchen table where someone prayed with him.
