Saint Anthony’s College

Thu, Apr 05, 2018

The Franciscans first came to Galway in 1296 and founded the Abbey. In 1483, a school of advanced theology was instituted there. When the Cromwellians invaded the city, the friars were expelled.

There were 13 friars there in 1766, and eight years later a novitiate was opened here. The present friary was built or rebuilt in 1820, and the present church opened c1836. It was renovated in the 1970s and became the first Franciscan parish in 1971.

It can work, but you have to be careful, as you could end up drawing attention to the very feature you’re anxious to conceal.
