Connie Marshner fell in love with Ireland when she was in middle school and the pursuit of a master's degree in Gaelic literature at University College Cork gave her the opportunity to do in-depth research on the topic. Her latest book, Monastery and High Cross, presents a comprehensive authentic history of Christianity in Ireland in late antiquity for the first time and is drawn from her 2022 dissertation. She is the chair of the Saints and Scholars Foundation, which supports a new model of faithful Catholic education for modern secular Ireland.
