Irish Catholic Saints For All Of May

[AServantofGod]

dcmac:

ASOG,

Kelly is the anglicization of the name and there are several ways to spell and pronounce it in Gaelic, so yes it is appropriate to assume a connection with one or more of the above.

I haven’t had the time to delve into the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Reformation Martyrs whose cases have been put forward by their religious houses and the Primatial Diocese of Ireland to the Holy See for investigation. I will try to get to it this weekend to find a martyr for your daughter, but I can’t get to it sooner than that… sorry… and it may be that their last name was not recorded, or may not exist. Either way there are Kellys to use as mentioned above.

Thanks so much dcmc. It’s great to know the origin of one’s name.
