Biographical history
Thomas McGrath (1839-1877), Catholic priest, was born in Tipperary-Ballingarry, Thurles, Ireland, in 1839. He completed a portion of his studies for the priesthood in St. Patrick's College, Carlow, Ireland (1857-60). He was ordained a priest in the chapel of the college in 1862 for ministry in the Diocese of Newfoundland.
Shortly after ordination, Rev. McGrath arrived in Newfoundland and was appointed a curate in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Parish, St. John's, where he served from 1862 to 1868. From 1868 to 1869, he held the position of president of St. Bonaventure's College, St. John's. In 1872, he was appointed a curate in St. Patrick's Parish, St. John's and served there until 1877, when he returned to Ireland.
Rev. McGrath died in Tipperary, Ireland, 21 June 1877 and was buried in High Graves Cemetery, Ballingarry.
