Ehh that's Kilkerrin North Galway.

I thought it was Abbeyknockmoy or Menlough at first.

He was actually massive in US, a big chunk of Latin America and the
Philippines.
Notice the US connection there, it is kinda important.

He ended up in University of Notre Dame after emigrating to the states.
After surviving advanced stages of TB he dedicated his life to the rosary.

It looks like his Latin American prayer crusade in the 50s was being funded and indeed directed by the CIA.
Eventually Rome got him to give up that funding.

He was known as the Rosary Priest.
My grand mother would have been fan of his.
Shure wasn't he a Mayo man after all.

BTW his catchy slogan was "The family that prays together stays together."
