What is recorded here
Michael O'Connor is a birthplace in Cóbh, County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the boy born there in 1810 first heard the sea before he heard God's voice. Maybe he carried that salt water into every cathedral where he later spoke. Imagine him still standing at the harbour edge, young and certain, ready to become a bishop.
Why this person is known: Irish-born Jesuit and Catholic bishop (1810–1872)
