Today in Ireland (tomorrow in @ABDiocese) we celebrate #StOliverPlunket: the Archbishop of Armagh, he was the final martyr at #Tyburn London in 1681. He was beatified in 1820, and canonised in 1975. In 1997 he was made the Patron Saint for peace and reconciliation in Ireland…1/ 
…yet in @RCWestminster there is still no place in the #Westminster Ordo for this #UltimaMartyr, & senior martyr, of all @TyburnMartyrs. Such a focus of international unity, who even has a 1924 mosaic by a Russian outside #StPatrick’s Chap in @WestminsterCath, surely deserves..2/
…an annual Memorial in the Ordo of the diocese where he gave his life? His Letters are gold… #StOliver himself potentially threads together Armagh, Westminster & Europe in a unique way. It is sad to see him neglected in the diocese where he suffered. 3/
