        History

        William Philip Hogan Kitchen (1879-1946), Catholic priest and author, was born at St. John's, Newfoundland, on 26 May 1879, son of Mary Josephine (Hogan) and Thomas Kitchen. He died at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, St. John's, on 4 September 1946. He was buried in Belvedere Cemetery, St. John's.

        Kitchen completed his primary and elementary education in St. Patrick's Hall School, St. John's and his high school education in St. Bonaventure's College, St. John's (1889-96). In October 1896 he matriculated (first division) from the University of London. Kitchen pursued his studies for the priesthood at the Sulpician Seminary of Issy, Paris, France, where he studied philosophy (1896-1898). He enrolled as a student in the University of Louvain, Louvain, Belgium, where he completed his doctoral course of studies in philosophy. He completed his four year course of studies in theology in the University Seminary of Louvain (1898-1902), under the direction of Monsignor Mercier, who subsequently became Cardinal Archbishop of Mechlin, Belgium. Kitchen was ordained a priest in Louvain on 2 May 1902.

        Rev. Kitchen served as a curate in St. Patrick's Parish, St. John's (1902-06), and in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Parish, St. John's. In May 1907 Kitchen was appointed as parish priest of the newly established St. Joseph's Parish, St. John's. While there he supervised the construction of a church and convent. In January 1921 he returned to St. Patrick's Parish as Rector, and remained there until 1932. In November 1925 he was named a Domestic Prelate by Pope Pius XI, with the title of Monsignor. In 1932 Archbishop Edward Patrick Roche appointed Rev. Reardon as Vicar General of the Archdiocese, and acting Administrator of the Cathedral Parish, positions he occupied up until the time of his death.

        Kitchen also published extensively. His literary works appeared for many years in many American and European periodicals.
