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).
