Keating, Thomas

Teacher; born Tipperary, 6 July 1827; died Xavier College, Melbourne, 13 March 1887, aged 59.

Thomas Keating, older brother of Patrick, studied at Thurles College and the Maynooth seminary before entering the Society, 24 September 1849. He was professed of the four vows on 15 August 1866 during his time of teaching the humanities at Clongowes Wood College. From 1874-76, he was superior and procurator at St Patrick's House, Catholic University of Ireland. Then he was appointed rector and prefect of studies of Clongowes Wood, 1876-81, before being sent to Australia.

Upon arrival in Australia in 1882, he went to St Aloysius' College, where he worked until his early death.

He was considered by the Irish provincial to be of 'great merit and learning, and full of zeal' for God's Kingdom. Bishops admired him for his retreats, but he was not recommended to be a superior, as he was previously rather stern and exacting on others. Despite this, Jesuits in Ireland held him in 'great esteem'.
