“Cardinal Burke loves to build and loves to beautify … and this is a monument to this great man and this great event in his life to remind us where this saint was ordained,” said Duncan Stroik, the monument's designer, in a Nov. 14 interview with Catholic News Agency.
The monument to Blessed Columba Marmion, which was dedicated Oct. 25, is located on the side aisle of the church and features a bas relief profile of the blessed above a Latin inscription.
The inscription proclaims, “Here in the church of St. Agatha of the Goths, June 16, 1881, Joseph Marmion was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Dublin by Tobias Kirby, rector of the Irish College. Then, after entering the Order of St. Benedict and taking the name Columba at the Abbey of Maredsous, he was elected the third abbot of the same community.”
“Excelling in priestly virtue and renowned for his sanctity, he died on Jan. 30, 1923, and was beatified Sept. 3, 2000, by Pope John Paul II.”
It also notes that “His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke took care to erect this monument in A.D. 2012.
