    Biography

    Raised in Shanahoe, County Laois, Ireland. Studied Chemistry and Biochemistry at college and embarked on a career in a Research Laboratory. Took to the cloth when I was twenty eight years old which required seven years of study in Philosophy and Theology. My first assignment was to Leprosy Rehabilitation in India. After India I became a Prison Chaplain in London where I met many great characters who have left lasting impressions on me. Since then I have worked in parish ministry in Dublin and Los Angeles. I draw on all these experiences for my writings and my current book Flax In Bloom ( available at Lulu.com). This is book of poetry which explores love, life and spirituality.

    Inspiration

    We have only one life and its experienced have much to tells us if we reflect on them.
