Biographical Notes

All About People: Tittle Tattle, The Catholic Press, Sydney, 27 May 1937, p 24, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article104393802:

Hundreds of Australian Catholics will regret to learn of the death of Rev. Father Terence G. Brown, C.SS.R., late of the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, at Clonard, Belfast, who died at the Redemptorist House of Studies, Esker, County Galway, on Sunday morning, April 18. Father Brown was born about 58 years ago in Dundalk, where his family were well-known business people. His work in the Redemptorist Order took him to Australia, where he spent about 13 years, part of the time acting as Rector of one of the Australian houses. From Australia he went to the Philippines, where he spent about six years. Returning to Ireland, he was stationed at Clonard for a few years, and then went to Limerick, where he occupied the honoured post of director of Limerick's famous Holy Family Confraternity. He returned to Clonard about three years ago.

During his Irish service he gave many missions in almost every parish in the country and numerous retreats for priests and religious. He left Clonard last June to return to Limerick, but ill-health required frequent visits to Dublin for medical attention. He had gone to Esker on temporary duty as spiritual prefect of the students when he was taken ill. In the weakened state of his health an acute attack of angina pectoris proved fatal. As a missioner in Australia, Father Brown was noted for his zeal, his deep sincerity, and his keen knowledge of human nature. He was a man's man in the best sense of the term—R.I.P.
