Product Details

Ireland’s Loyalty to the Mass unveils the incomparable history of the Catholics of Ireland, who clung valiantly to the Faith for hundreds of years through some of the worst persecutions ever inflicted on a people. Their unrelenting love of the Most Blessed Sacrament is a clarion call for us in these times when attendance at Holy Mass has waned and the desacralization of the liturgy advances. From the golden hour in which St. Patrick, as bishop, said his first Mass on Irish soil down to the coming of the Normans, love of the Blessed Eucharist was one of the dominant characteristics of the Irish race. 

In the pages of Ireland’s Loyalty to the Mass, Fr. Augustine Hayden reveals a myriad of shocking details that are highly relevant to our time, including:

What the Council of Regency did to Protestantize the Mass 

• How the Irish faithful responded when it became unlawful to celebrate Mass 
• Why the English government sought to cancel the Mass and the sacraments 
• What the English planned following the suppression of the Catholic Mass 
• The Saul-like terrorization and banishment of bishops and priests, and their indomitable courage
• The heroic martyrdom of lay Catholics, who bravely hid priests and guarded the Holy Eucharist

You will see why the heroic Catholics of Ireland believed that the Holy Mass and the Real Presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament are worth cherishing — even unto death. Amid war, starvation, and relentless cruelty, our Eucharistic King gave the Irish the graces they needed to remain steadfast and become a bastion of devotion for the world.
