History
William J. Browne (1847-1911), Catholic priest and prelate, was born at St. John's, Newfoundland, in 1847. He died 13 August 1911.
Browne was ordained a priest in 1887, when he was 40 years old, and was appointed to the staff of the Cathedral of St. Joseph's Parish, St. George's, under the stewardship of Michael Francis Howley, Vicar Apostolic. Browne ministered at St. George's from 1887 to 1891. He then served as parish priest of St. Jacques (1891-1902); at the same time, he also ministered to Sacred Heart Parish, St. Bernard's, Fortune Bay. One of Browne's characteristics, the result of long years of business training, was his careful attention to detail. Browne was named a domestic prelate by the Pope, elevating him to the rank of monsignor.
