Title
Pax Romana Congress, Galway, 1959
Depiction
In front of an ecclesiastical building, a group of about eighty people, including men, women and clergy, three of the latter in scarlet robes and lace flanking a man in civilian clothing wearing a chain of office.
Description
The two members of the Catholic hierarchy on either side of Mayor Peter Greene are, from left to right, Monsignor Pádraig de Brún, President of UCG (1945-1959), and Rt. Revd Dr Michael J. Browne, Bishop of Galway and Kilmacduagh (1937-1976). Near the back, 2nd from the left in the 2nd-last row, is Tom O'Connor, Lecturer in Physics.
The church behind the group is St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Presentation Road, recorded by the National Built Heritage Service as having been built in 1880-1885.
The Pax Romana has a graduate branch, the International Catholic Movement for Intellectual and Cultural Affairs (ICMICA-MIIC), and a student branch, the International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS). A brief account of its development is provided on the website of the Newman Association (Lambert 2013).
