Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox Christian leader Francis McCormack (8 April 1833 – 14 November 1909) was an Irish Catholic bishop of the 19th and 20th century.[1]

Early life and family

Francis Joseph McCormack was born in Ballintubber in 1833. He studied for the priesthood in Maynooth College.[2] His nephew, Captain Patrick McCormack, was one of the Cairo Gang assassinated on Bloody Sunday (1920).[3] Dr McCormack was also a cousin of the founder of the Land League, Michael Davitt.

Priest

McCormack was ordained a priest in 1862.

Bishop

McCormack was consecrated a bishop by John McEvilly, Archbishop of Tuam. He was Bishop of Achonry 1871 to 1887. In 1879 a minor famine saw 300 people beg food from the bishop at Christmas. He wrote a letter to the Land League, contrasting the vast sums spent on the Anglo-Zulu War and Second Anglo-Afghan War with the minimal amount the government spent on famine relief.[4][5] He also condemned "assisted emigration," whereby landlords paid the fare to get rid of unwanted tenants.[6]

In 1887 McCormack was translated to the Diocese of Galway and Kilmacduagh where he served until he retired due to ill health in 1908. He died in 1909.[7][8] He is buried in Galway Cathedral crypt, his papers are stored in the Diocesan archive.
