Biographical history

Michael Hanley (1841-1899), Catholic priest, was born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1841. He studied for the priesthood at Waterford Seminary College, Waterford, and was ordained a priest (ca. 1872) for ministry in the Archdiocese of Dublin. After hearing of the shortage of priests in the Diocese of Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, he volunteered to work in that diocese, arriving in Harbour Grace in late 1872.

Shortly after Rev. Hanley's arrival, Bishop Enrico Carfagnini appointed him a curate of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Parish, Harbour Grace. In 1873, he was appointed parish priest to St. Peter and St. Paul Parish, King's Cove, Bonavista Bay, succeeding the late Rev. James Cummins. He ministered there until 1875. He was appointed the parish priest of Corpus Christi Parish, Northern Bay (1875-91) and parish priest of Holy Cross Parish, Holyrood, Conception Bay (1891), succeeding Father Gregory Battcock. He remained at Holy Cross Parish until 1898. Suffering rapidly declining health, he returned to Ireland, where he died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Fitzgerald, Knockalmy, County Limerick on 14 November 1899.

Two of Hanley's brothers, Patrick and William, also became priests and ministered in the Archdiocese of Dublin.
