Coffee, [?]

Date and place of birth unknown. Details of education unknown. Place of study unknown. Date and place of ordination unknown. This entry is made because of the following reference in the Freeman's Journal: 'Fr Coffee, from New Zealand, has been appointed to Dean O'Sullivan. The new priest is spoken of as a powerful preacher, and a very zealous worker'. His placement at the time would have been to Grafton. There are no records of his movements after that date. Date and place of death unknown. Place of burial unknown.
