Bid Underway To Make “Unique” Bishop Willie Walsh A Saint

A bid has been launched to make a late great of County Clare a recognised saint.

Following the passing of the much-loved Bishop Willie Walsh at the end of February, a campaign is underway to have him recognised a saint by the Catholic Church.

The push is being spearheaded by former Inagh-based Fianna Fáíl councilor Flan Garvey who was a friend of Bishop Willie and whose son was taught by him at St Flannan’s College.

Flan says Bishop Willie had all the qualities of someone deserving of canonisation.
