History
Andrew V. Cleary (1774-1829), Catholic priest, was born in County Wexford, Ireland, in 1774, possibly in Bannow parish and possibly in Moxboley townland. Cleary was a nephew of Rev. Nicholas Devereux and an uncle of Rev. Patrick Cleary, commonly known by his contemporaries as "The Dean."
Cleary studied for the priesthood in Ireland and was ordained there. He came to the Vicariate of Newfoundland at the invitation of Bishop Patrick Lambert, arriving in St. John's in June 1806. Cleary's first appointment was as a curate in the old Cathedral parish, St. John's, where he worked from 1806-1810. In 1810, he was appointed the parish priest of Sacred Heart Parish, Placentia, and remained there until his death on 1 August 1829. He was buried in the priests' plot in Mount Carmel Cemetery, Placentia.
