Irish Priests Rally for Ireland’s Self Rule in 1916
Seven Redemptorist priests from Ireland spoke in Boston and Roxbury on a pro independence stance. They denounced British rule, praised Sinn Fein gains, and declared Ireland must be free and self governed. They depart for Australia en route to Sydney, Ballarat, Perth, and other cities, saying they will stay until Ireland achieves national freedom.
