Biographical history
William Fripps (1830-1862), Catholic priest, was born at Mencken, County Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1830, and was educated in the national school system in Ireland. He studied for the priesthood at St. John's Seminary College, Waterford, Ireland, and arrived in the Diocese of St. John's, Newfoundland, at the invitation of Bishop John Thomas Mullock. Following his arrival, he was ordained to the priesthood in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, by Bishop Mullock on 24 June 1855.
On 15 July 1855, Rev. Fripps began his first pastoral appointment as a curate in St. Patrick's Parish, Burin, with residence in St. Lawrence. During his time there, he was appointed a member of the Roman Catholic School Board for the Burin Peninsula and Fortune Bay District. Rev. Fripps died 4 February 1862.
