It is the most central and contains the towns of Ballynahinch, Saintfield, Downpatrick, Clough, Dundrum, Newcastle and Castlewellan. His early life and education took place against the backdrop of the Penal Laws and so firm details are scarce. But a generally respected source, writing at the end of the nineteenth century, asserts that the future bishop was born in Aughnagon near Mayobridge around 1700. He was ordained priest at Ballykinlar by Bishop John Armstrong (1727-1739) and, as was often the case in the eighteenth century, was sent to study theology after ordination: in his case at the Sorbonne. Sometime around 1737 it is believed he was appointed parish priest of Loughinisland and erected the first church there. (en) |
