Father Quinn was born in Ireland on June 25, 1930, ordained a priest in Ireland, then came to the United States, Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, then volunteered to open a Mission in Saltillo, Mexico. He arrived in January 1969, then became Pastor of Perpetuo Socorro Catholic Church, on Abasolo Street, and also other churches in the City of Saltillo, as well as a large number of rancho churches scattered throughout the mountains, near and far from the City.
Many are still awed by the fact that he could take care of such as large and vast parish.
Doing great work there for 28 years, he passed away unexpectedly, on January 9, 1997.
During his ministry he touched many thousands of lives. He loved them and they loved him. He is sorely missed in Mexico, the United States, Ireland, and around the world.
The book is a chance for those who knew him to remember the life and works of a great man, and for those who did not know, to become aware of how amazing this great man was.
Father Benny Piovan, former Pastor of the Saltillo Mission, began the movement to have Padre Quinn canonized a Saint by the Catholic Church. Father Benny, himself, passed away while working at the Mission doing great work for his parishioners.
