  • CNI -Comment June 17
    Comment June 17 ! CNI Comment - A Saint from Portora The report of a service at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, honouring the life of Old Portoran and Jesuit, Fr John Sullivan, both inspired me and rattled my memory banks*. Clongowes and Portora schools participated in this service honouring a man who had been elevated to ‘Venerable’ - a saint in the making - by Pope Francis. As Archbishop Michael Jackson stated, Fr Sullivan spent half of his life as an Anglican and a layperson, and half as a Roman Catholic and a Jesuit priest. I confess that it was not the religious aspect which first provoked the memories. There is something about the species which emerges from most all-male schools which retains the memories of encounters with other tribes on [email protected] Page !1 Comment June 17 sporting occasions. My own particular tribe from Inst played Clongowes with the oval ball and the matches were always toughly contested even in those less crunching times. I was not a rower and therefore avoided periodic defeats on the water by the crews from Enniskillen who had the Erne almost on their front door step. Rather, Portora was one of the few schools against whom we played one day cricket with two innings as opposed to one. Perhaps when the opposition had to travel through Fivemiletown, Clogher and Augher to get to Dungannon to take the train to Belfast, they wanted to make the most of a day out to Osborne Park. One of their foremost alumnus, Samuel Beckett, after all, had a reputation at Portora as a cricketer long before well-warranted literary fame came his way.
