◆ Fr Francis Finegan SJ :
Already Ordained before Ent 05 January 1680 TOLE and is most probably the same as the Patrick Lynch who signed his Mass report at Salamanca, 10 October 1677. It is not clear that he was already a Priest before Ent, but he had all but completed his Priestly studies.
After First Vows - unclear if his Noviceship was at Madrid or Villarejo - he was sent to Murcia College teaching Humanities. By 1685 he had been invited to go to the Irish Mission, but claimed ill health made it impossible for him. Eventually he did, five years later.
1690-1692 Sent to Ireland and probably Galway but only spent two years there due to the Williamite conquest of Galway
1692 Back in TOLE and sent to the Novitiate/Juniorate at Villarejo by 02 February 1693 when he made his Final Vows. He then returned to Murcia as a teacher, holding a Chair in Philosophy (1694-1697) and afterwards as an Operarius in the Church. He died at Alicante 30 October 1704
