History
Michael O'Donel (1777-1832), Catholic priest, was born in Tullaghmelan, County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1777. In 1799, he came to Newfoundland at the invitation of his uncle Bishop James Louis O'Donel, Vicar Apostolic.
O'Donel was initially sent by his uncle to the Grande Seminare at Quebec City to complete his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained a priest on 12 July 1801 by Bishop Plessis in the cathedral at Quebec. O'Donel returned to St. John's and was given an appointment there as a curate in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Parish, where he served from 1801 to 1806.
Rev. O'Donel returned to Ireland in 1806, the same year as did his uncle. He was appointed the parish priest of Clashmore and Piltown, County Waterford, and ministered there until his death in 1832. He was buried in the cemetery at Harrogate.
