Benburb Priory to open 2026 talks with tribute to Poet Charlie Donnelly
2026-02-26 19:30 - 21:30
The 2026 lecture series at Benburb Priory will open with a powerful reflection on the life and legacy of Charlie Donnelly, the Tyrone-born poet and political activist best remembered for his role in the Spanish Civil War.
The talk, titled Portrait of a Poet, will be delivered by Eileen Quinn, who will explore Donnelly’s short but remarkable life. Audiences can expect fresh insight into his political convictions, his involvement in the international struggle against fascism, and the poetry that continues to resonate with readers and activists alike.
Charlie Donnelly, who grew up in Dungannon, is remembered not only for his literary talent but also for his passionate belief in justice and equality. He was just 22 when he lost his life at the Battle of Jarama in 1937, yet his words endure as a testament to both the artistic and political spirit of his generation.
Benburb Priory’s opening lecture promises to be a moving tribute, situating Donnelly within the wider story of Irish cultural and political history while highlighting the continued relevance of his voice today.

Tercentenary of the Canonisation of St Peregrine
4 May 2026 – 4 May 2027
The St Peregrine Centre at Servite Priory Benburb marks 300 years since the canonisation of St Peregrine Laziosi, patron saint of those suffering from cancer.
Born in Forlì, Italy, in 1256, Peregrine’s life was transformed after seeking forgiveness from St Philip Benizi. He later joined the Servite Order and was miraculously healed of cancer through prayer before the Crucifix.
Canonised on 27 December 1726, his feast day is celebrated on 4th May.
Devotion to St Peregrine continues to bring healing, strength, and peace to many.
