The yearly mass marks Roscommon's Fr James Coyle who was murdered in 1921 in Alabama.
A memorial Mass for a Midlands priest murdered in America, is being broadcast worldwide by Catholic network EWTN today.
Roscommon's Fr James Coyle was murdered in 1921 in Birmingham, Alabama, after marrying a Catholic convert and a Puerto Rican man.
The bride's father Edwin Stephenson, shot the priest on his own porch following the secret wedding, as he was part of the Ku Klux Klan who opposed Catholics and immigrants.
Despite confessing, Mr Stephenson was acquitted just two months later.
Fr Coyle’s grandniece, Sheila Killian says his impact has lasted generations:
