The Jesuits in Australia

Origins of the Jesuit Missions In Australia

Originally there were three mission territories in Australia: South Australia, the Daly River, in the Northern Territory and the mission in Victoria, New South Wales.

When the colony was only in its infancy, the South Australia Mission was instigated by a zealous Catholic farmer of Silesia. He gathered a band of 130 emigrants and arranged to pay their passage from Hamburg to Adelaide. Then he applied to the Jesuit Provincial of Austria for missioners and he appointed Frs Aloysius Kranewitter and Maximilian Klinkoestroem to accompany the group. They landed at Adelaide on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, after a journey of 114 days and received a cordial welcome from the Bishop.

The Daly River Mission was also under the care of the Austrian Jesuits and was directed at the “Conver sion of the Blacks”. It was established 1882 by Fr Anthony Strele. Unfortunately, due to the floods in the area, it had to be abandoned by the Society.

We are concerned mainly here with the other mission, that in Victoria,New South Wales.

In 1865 the Bishop of Melbourne invited the Jesuit General to send some priests to take charge of St Patrick's College in the city and to care for the adjoining districts of Richmond, Hawthorn, Kew and the large country area nearby.

As a result the first Irish Jesuits, Frs Joseph Lentaigne and William Kelly, arrived on Sept. 21st 1865 and immediately set to work. That evening, in fact, Fr Kelly preached in St Francis' Church, where Bishop Goold was conducting a mission. In a few days the priests took over the college and with the help of two lay-teachers taught some 30 pupils until Christmas.

Next year saw the arrival of Frs Joseph Dalton, Edward Nolan and David McKiniry along with two Jesuit brothers: Michael Scully, a shoemaker and Michael Goodwin, a carpenter, who was still a novice.

Ten days after their appearance in in Australia they were given charge of Richmond, Hawthorn, after 17 years Camberwell and some large country districts...........
