◆ Francis Finegan SJ Biographical Dictionary 1598-1773

He was born in 1589 and was a student at the Irish College, Lisbon, when he entered the Society in that city, 1607.

He resumed his ecclesiastical studies at Coimbra, but having completed only two years of Theology there, he was transferred to Spain, where he completed his studies at the College of S Hermenegildo, at Seville, and where he was ordained priest, 1615/1616.

He was Minister at the Irish College, Seville, in 1621, when he finally got permission to return to ireland. He had been trying to get back to Ireland to patch up quarrels in his family. After his return he worked on the Mission in East Munster, but left the Society, or was dismissed, early in 1630. That same year he set out for Rome, allegedly with the support of some Irish Bishops, to lay before the Holy See complaints, not only against the Jesuits in Ireland, but against all the regular clergy of the country.

His later career cannot be treated.
