6: Fr. Frank O'Grady on tearful meeting with President Biden in Ireland
Join Bishop Kevin Sweeney and Communications Director Jai Agnish for episode 6 of Beyond The Beacon, a podcast of the Diocese of Paterson, N.J. On this week’s episode, Bishop Sweeney calls Father Frank O’Grady in Ireland to discuss the priest’s surprise meeting with President Joe Biden at the Knock Shrine in Ireland. The tearful meeting made international headlines and thrust Father O’Grady, a retired priest of the Diocese of Paterson, into the spotlight. Father O’Grady was the priest who administered Last Rites to Beau Biden nearly eight years ago before he succumbed to brain cancer at 46. Bishop Sweeney also takes a question from a listener about Ascension Thursday. Be sure to like this episode, subscribe, and tune in next time! Thanks for listening!
