Alfie Lambe (1932-1959) is a modern-day Irish Christian missionary. I have just written an Irishman's Diary in the Irish Times newspaper about Alfie Lambe's life and times. Read it here.
Alfie Lambe was born in Tullamore in County Offaly in 1932. He wanted to join the Christian Brothers but had to leave due to his delicate health. He joined the Legion of Mary in his hometown and worked for the organisation in Ireland before being sent to South America as a Legion envoy. He died there in 1959 and is still remembered today in many of the South American countries that he visited.
