    St. Oliver Plunkett was the last Catholic martyred at Tyburn. He was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1975, being the first Irish saint canonized since St. Lawrence O’Toole in 1226.

    Oliver Plunkett (1629 – 81) was born on November 1 at Lougherew, Meath, Ireland, of a noble family that supported King Charles I and the cause of Irish freedom. He studied at St. Mary’s Benedictine Abbey in Dublin, went to the Irish college in Rome when he was sixteen, and was ordained in 1654. He spent the next fifteen years in Rome serving as professor of theology at the College of the Propagation of the Faith, was consultor of the Sacred Congregation of the Index, and was procurator for the Irish bishops.

    In 1669, he was named archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland and was consecrated at Ghent. He returned to Ireland in 1670 and spent the next four years reorganizing his diocese, reforming the abuses that had arisen during the absences of persecuted bishops, enforcing clerical discipline, and improving relations between secular and order clergy.

    In 1673 the renewed persecution of Catholics forced many bishops to flee, and he was forced into hiding in 1678.
