Biographical history
Denis O'Brien (1837?-1889), Catholic priest, was born in the Diocese of Limerick, Ireland. He was ordained a priest on 24 May 1863 by Bishop John Thomas Mullock of Newfoundland.
Following ordination, Rev. O'Brien was appointed vice-president and professor at St. Bonaventure's College, St. John's, Newfoundland, where he taught Latin and Mathematics. He remained with the college from 1882 to 1888. In 1889, he was appointed a curate in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Parish, St. John's, and served there until 1895. During these years, he organized a night school in St. John's. Upon leaving St. John's, he took an assignment as a missionary in the Diocese of Dubuque, Iowa.
Rev. O'Brien died on 3 September 1899. Those who knew him described him as a fine scholar and a powerful pulpit orator.
