Conduct a Goggle search "Father Abram J. Ryan" and you'll find this:

Ryan died April 22, 1886, at a Franciscan monastery in Louisville, Kentucky, but his body was returned to St. Mary's in Mobile for burial. In recognition of his loyal service to the Confederacy, a stained glass window was placed in the Confederate Memorial Hall in New Orleans, Louisiana, in his memory. In 1912 a local newspaper launched a drive to erect a statue to him. Dedicated in July 1913, it included a stanza from "The Conquered Banner" below an inscription that reads: "Poet, Patriot, and Priest."
