There are 9 priests buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Carbonear. Three priests, Msgr. Felix McCarthy (d. 1944), Father William Cullen (d. 1948) and Msgr. Edward O'Brien (d. 1986) are buried on the south side of the church. Father Lawrence George (d. 1992) is buried in a family plot along side of his parents. The grave sites of Rev. Dr. Edward Jones (d. 1964) and Father John Mackey (d. 1952) are found in the old cemetery, just west of the Convent building. The grave site of Msgr. Joseph Peddle (d. 1976) is found in the new cemetery.
The grave site of Father James Donnely (d. 1916) is difficult to find; the headstone is tipped over and is in three pieces. It is located west of Fr. John Mackey's gravesite. Major work required on site.
The gravesite of Father James Gleeson (d. 1848) is not precisely known. His gravesite is located around the south-east area of the Convent building and is probably asphalted over. Fr. Gleason's headstone was moved to a religious plot in the old cemetery probably in the 1970s, but since 1983 the headstone has also disappeared, and is probably concreted over. Some type of a marker or headstone needs to be erected. Father Gleason was the first resident priest of St. Patrick's Parish, Carbonear.
Perhaps you could share your treasure and make a donation or offering in the memory of Father Donnelly and Father Gleeson.
Your gift would be used to fix up Fr. Donnelly's gravesite and erect a replacement Headstone for Father Gleeson. There are envelopes available at the back of the church or you may use a blank envelop (be sure to add your name and envelope number). Your stewardship is greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged in a later bulletin. If you have any questions, you may call the parish office at 596-5232.
