At the end of May 2009, I had the honor of leading the priest retreat for the Archbishop and priests of the Archdiocese of Tuam in Ireland. I flew into Shannon from Cincinnati because we were meeting at the Shrine of Our Lady of Knock. The Shannon Airport, a small airport, had been a project of a local priest who wanted to bring in tourists to the shrine. Archbishop Michael Neary, a humble and gentle man, was their bishop at the time of my retreat. He has only recently retired.
