Clergy Who served in the Parish

(anyone looking for church records in this community, they would be under
the Archdiocese of Grand Falls-Windsor.  Will post the address and contact
once I dig it out of my files.)

Rev. Bernard Duffy..served from 1838-1871
	Reputed to ahve been born circa. 1808 in County Monaghan, Ireland.  He was
recruited to come to Nfld by Bishop Michael A. Fleming.  He arrived from
Ireland on the ship "Cabinet" on Sept 20, 1833 and was stationed in Harbour
Grace.  He loved it in Nfld so much, he sent for his sisters Mary and
Elizabeth Duffy to join him.  No word here if they were married at the
time.  One of these ladies may have been a decendant of someone on the
list.  Fr. Duffy also had a nephew in Nfld, mentioned...another priest, Fr.
Edward F. Walsh, who served the parish in Brigus.  Fr. Duffy died on Xmas
Day, 1873 in Brigus and is buried there beside the church.

Rev. Jospeh V. Donnelly...served from 1871-1874.
	Fr. Donnelly was baptised in St. John's on August 17, 1845, son of Capt.
John Donnelly and Mary Kelly.  The family apparently had very prominent
wealth and connections.  Fr. Donnelly studied theology in Rome.  His father
came from the Harbour Grace area, and Donnelly was ordained in that parish
on Dec 4, 1870 by Bishop Henry Carfagnini.  He was stationed at Northern
Bay shortly after.  He died on August 21, 1929 at the age of 84, and is
buried at Belvedere Cemetary in St. John's.

Rev. James Cummins..served from 1874-1875
	Fr. Cummins came to Nfld in 1863...from where, it doesn't say, but he did
his studies in Ireland.  He served in Northern Bay on two seperate
occasions..the first from 1864-1865 and then again in 1874-1875.  He died
of consumption July 30, 1875 at age 35.  He was buried beneath the alter of
the church, but since that church has burnt down and another now replaces
it, his burial site is now moved to a site in front of the high school.

Rev. Micheal Hanley..served from 1875-1891
	Fr. hanley was born at Pallasgreen, County Limerick, Ireland in 1841.  He
came in Nfld around 1872.  He was stationed at Kings Cove before coming to
Northern Bay.  He died on Nov 14, 1899 at his sisters home in Ireland. 

Rev. John Roe...served from 1891-1905
	yet another priest from Ireland.  Fr. Roe was baptised on Oct 4, 1854 in
Ballygory, Mooncoin, County Kilkenny, Ireland, son of Thomas Roe and
Anastasia Hennebury.  Fr. Roe came to Nfld to visit his uncle Rev. Thomas
Hennebury of Trepassy and was persuaded to remain.  He died on June 16,
1911 in Avondale where he was still the serving priest.  An interesting
note...the church he served in was destroyed the next day after his death
by lightening.

Rev. John Joseph Nolan...served from 1905-1906
	Fr. Nolan was said to ahve been born in Glace Bay, CBI, Nova Scotia, circa
1880. He is reputed to have died in the United States.

Rev. John J. Lynch...served from 1906-1914
	Fr. Lynch was born in Harbour Grace circa 1858, son of Capt. Thomas Lynch
and Catherine Keough.  He was reported to have retired in North Dakota. 
His sister Catherine was the mother of Bishop J.M. O'Neill.  

Note:  Seems from what I have been reading so far in this book that it was
a common for a particular family to have several members become men...and
women of the cloth.  

Rev. Edward J. O'Brien...served from 1915-1970!!
	This entry I am questioning....for the simple fact the dates don't look
right to me...but no doubt the author did research this, so it must be
right. (Information confirmed as correct by Peter O"Brien (April 18, 2010)
 	Fr. O'Brien was born Nov 13, 1884 in Carbonear, son of John O'Brien and
Ellen Cahill.  During his time serving on the North Shore, the church in
Northern Bay burnt to the ground in 1924.  He became a Monsiengor and
retired and died in Carbonear on Feb 21, 1986.

Rev. Edward Hearn...served from 1970-1973.
	Fr. Hearn was born Dec 17, 1935 in Riverhead, Harbour Grace, son of
William Hearn and Ellen Moriarty.  Fr. Hearn was laicized in 1977 and now
resides in Montreal.
I assume this to mean he was no longer a priest, but I could be wrong. 
Someone let me know exactly what this means.  Its not in my dictionary!

Rev. Gregory B. Pumphrey...served from 1973-1978
	Fr. Pumphrey was born in Harbour Grace on July 14, 1919, son of Joseph
Pumphrey and Agnes Martin.  He retired in 1984.

Rev. David W. Heale...served from 1978-1981.

Phylis Gardiner.  He presently serves in Avondale.

	Fr. Barker was born July 22, 1928 in Open Hall, Bonavista Bay, son of
James Barker and Sarah Kelly.

Rev. William D. Matthews....served from 1984-1991

Ellen H. Martin.  He presently serves in Carbonear.
