Saturday, January 30 was a very special day for Ballinaglera man and Redemptorist priest Fr Anthony Mulvey’s as he celebrated his 99th birthday.
He is the oldest Irish Redemptorist, and still going strong.
He even hit the front cover of the January/February issue of Reality magazine.
A proud Leitrim man, he was born on January 30th of 1922, the year of the founding of the State.
He went to the Redemptorist School in Limerick – then known as the Redemptorist College, now known as St Clement’s. He entered the Redemptorist noviciate in 1942: he studied in what was then the newly opened Cluain Mhuire House of Studies in Galway.
