Monsignor Patrick Joseph Whitney (1894 - 1942), was an Irish priest who in 1932 founded the Saint Patrick’s Society for the Foreign Missions [1] known as the Kiltegan Fathers. He was training as a priest in Maynooth College for the Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise when on the invitation of Bishop, Joseph Shanahan,[2] he volunteered as a priest in Nigeria where he went with Fr Roynane in the 1920s. His cousin Fr Patrick Francis Whitney was one of the first three members of the society.
