Conihan, ---, Irish
Priest Whose Movements Are Hard to Trace
The name could perhaps be Counihan, but the Christian name has eluded the MDHC researcher of the Advocate files. However, the latter has supplied these few details from the shipping records and from the Advocate. Conihan came from the Diocese of Meath and arrived in Melbourne on the 'Gainsborough' on 10 December 1875. In the missionary party were ten Sisters of Mercy (professed and postulants) who were mentioned in Vol. 2, No. 8 by Sister M.Aquinas, in her contribution on a 'Mercy Centenary (Yass)'. There were five priests in the company. (Sister Aquinas mentions the name of one - Father Tom Long, a priest who achieved pastoral fame in Wagga and later in Sydney). The others were a Murphy and an O'Leary, whose cards are not in the keeping of the columnist at the time of writing, and Fr. William Meade, a priest who taught for a time at St. Stanislaus, Bathurst.
