Patrick O'Healy

Who they were

Bishop of Mayo and a friar of the Order of Friars Minor. With the priest Connor O'Rourke, also a Friar Minor, he was condemned to death and led to the scaffold at Kilmallock in Ireland for not having kept his priesthood hidden.

The miracles

As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology names him as a bishop put to death in Ireland for not hiding his priesthood.
