San Lorenzo O’Toole

San Lorenzo O'Toole was archbishop of Dublin, his origins are not known exactly due to the lack of historical documents that bear witness to this.

Despite the scarcity of information, historians have managed to establish that Lorenzo O’Toole was born in 1128 in Castledermot, a small village in the present county of Kildare in Ireland.


Being of noble origin, he had the privilege of being educated in the best rooms of that time, including the one made up of the monks present in Glendalough Abbey.

It was precisely in that religious environment that he began his spiritual and formative journey, driven by the desire to dedicate himself to the service of God, which led him first to take vows and then to become abbot in the same abbey when he was only 27 years old.

Lorenzo O’Toole was appreciated not only for the good organizational capacity of the abbey, but also for the immense sense of charity he had for the needy.


Eight years after becoming abbot, he obtained the recognition of various merits including that of being very well-liked and esteemed by his faithful.

When Lorenzo O’Toole was elected archbishop of Dublin, he had the opportunity to impose a more sober life on the world of the clergy and closer to the real problems of the people.

In 1173 he participated in the third Lateran synod.


Died on November 14, 1180 when he was 52 years old, Lorenzo O’Toole was made a saint in 1225 by Pope Honorius III.
