Considine, Thomas, Irish
No Kudos for the Servant from County Clare
Educated at Maynooth, Thomas Considine was ordained for the Diocese of Killaloe on 15 April 1888. He arrived in Melbourne in July of that year, coming either with the intention of staying for a term, or of devoting his whole life to the Archdiocese which he did. He worked mainly in tough country parishes, achieved no distinctions, save that of being devoted to the poor and the sick. Probably the reason why distinctions and kudos never came his way was that he had difficulty in coping when thrust into an atmosphere of conviviality. Among his appointments were Clifton Hill, Meredith for about ten years, Daylesford, Seymour for about ten years. Bad health came his way in 1909 and that factor linked with a 'propensity', caused him to go on leave for a year or more. On return he achieved a high reputation for his devotion to chaplaincy work at the Little Sisters of the Poor who had the care of the elderly and infirm at Northcote. Close on ten years had been spent there when Archbishop Mannix entrusted him with the quiet parish of Sunbury. Failing health appears to have been his lot for the last years of life and he died on 23 May 1931. Age: 68 circa.
