He was born in Dublin, c September 1587, studied a short time at the Irish College, Lisbon, before he entered the Society in that city, 1605, and made his Noviceship at Évora. He studied Philosophy for four years at Coimbra, and by 1614 had done two years of Theology, and was then in poor health at the Irish College, Lisbon.

Conflicting entries in the catalogi of that year make it impossible to determine whether or not he was already a priest, and lacunae in the catalogi for succeeding years also make it impossible to assign the date of his death.

Father Michael White SJ 1654-1719
“The year 1917, of the Society 180, at the College of Madeira on the 8th of March, Father Michael White, an Irishman, departed this life. Having entered the Society in Portugal, he was sent on the completion of his studies to the island of Madeira, where he passed the rest of his life.

Unassuming and gentle, the archetype of a religious man, he engaged much in contemplating divine things. Whenever the many English ships arrived at the island for the purpose of trading, it can scarcely be expressed how useful he proved, not only to the secret Catholics, but also those alien to our Faith, who he brought back to the Church. By his example he won over externs as well as Ours to the love of virtue. Everyone looked up to him as a man very dear to God”.

He was Rector of the College of Madeira for many years.
