        Extracts from Irish Province News concerning the Stations of the Cross by the French artist Robert de Villiers which were installed in the domestic chapel at Tullabeg.

        The Irish Province News, Vol. V, No.3, July 1947, p.227, has the following:

        'New Stations of the Cross have been installed in our Domestic Chapel. They are in terra cotta and were made by the French artist Roger de Villiers. Originally designed for a small church of Cardinal Verdier's in Paris, they came into the hands of Mr. Colquhoun, Protestant minister of St. John's, Sandymount, Dublin, and from there have finally come to rest in our chapel through the generosity of the father of one of Ours. They are noteworthy for their appeal and their simplicity, and indeed would seem to have been specially designed for our chapel.'

        According to the benefactors book of St Stanislaus College, Tullabeg, Offaly, Senator Joseph Brennan purchased the Stations, and gave them to Tullabeg. He had two sons in the Society of Jesus, Jack and Joseph. On the closure of Tullabeg in 1991, the stations went to University Hall, Hatch Street, Dublin. With its closure in 2004, they were put up for auction, whereupon they were bought by St John's. When the Jesuits realised the previous connection to St John's, they donated the Stations.
