In attempting to learn how to build a viable Web Site I have chosen to share some of the many photos I possess of the
dedication of a life size statue of Father Edward J. Flanagan at the place of his birth, Ballymoe Ireland, on October 8, 2001.
Thank you. RCF
The photo on this page is of Fr. Peter and Alumni present for the dedication standing within the framework of the home
Fr. Flanagan grew up in. It is located on land owned by a farmer, Patrick Collins. When he bought the property
in the early 1950s, he had every notion to bulldoze the Leabeg house, because it was deteriorating and some parts of the walls
were crumbling. Back then, it was not known as the Leabeg house, nor had he heard of Fr. Flanagan. Why didn't
he bulldoze the place when he had the notion to do so? Mr. Collins states: "I don't really know why I didn't tear
it down. I just couldn't." Photo is dated 10-06-01.
