    Still he is not forgotten
    Whoever shall he be
    For he has saved our country
    From Infidelity
    He'll be for us a guiding star,
    In storm & in calm
    And keep us ever loyal
    To faith & Fatherland.

    Look down beloved martyr,
    On your children here below
    And bless the land you loved so well
    So many years ago
    And lead us through this vale of tears
    For joys are very few
    But joy, please God, shall be our lot
    If we can follow you.
    N.B. The new Church at Blackrock, completed in 1924, is named after Blessed Oliver.
    * Ballybarrack Shrine is near Dundalk Workhouse on main Dundalk-Ardee Rd. Benediction is given there on 11th July each year.
