John Loughran, An Irish Catholic priest striving to care for his parishioners under the severe 18th-century Penal Laws of the day when praying was forbidden, and those who celebrated or attended Mass were arrested. Yet Catholicism endured, thanks to the brave priests who hid from the authorities and ministered to people in secret. Meet one man who defied the odds, and the community that came together to protect him.
