Biographical history

Stephen Flynn (1850-1899), Catholic priest, was born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, on 25 January 1850, the son of Michael and Catherine (Fleming) Flynn. He trained for the priesthood from 1868 to 1874, and was ordained a priest in June 1875 in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Harbour Grace, by Enrico Carfagnini, Bishop of Harbour Grace.

Rev. Flynn served as pastor of St. Patrick's Parish, Carbonear (1876-79) and as the parish priest of the newly-established St. Anne's Parish, Fortune Harbour (1879-85). In July 1883, he visited Mi'kmaq communities along the northeast coast of Newfoundland with Bishop Ronald MacDonald, Harbour Grace. In 1885, Flynn was appointed the parish priest of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, Little Bay, Notre Dame Bay, where he ministered from 1885 to 1899.

Rev. Flynn died on 14 August 1899 at Little Bay. He was buried in the priests' plot of the Catholic cemetery at Harbour Grace.
