John Sweeny

SWEENY, John, Canadian R. C. bishop, born in Clones, Ireland, in May, 1821. When a boy he emigrated with his father to St. John, New Brunswick. He was educated at St. Dunstan's college, Prince Edward island, and at Quebec college, where he was graduated in 1844, and ordained a priest the same year. He was afterward stationed at St. John, Sussex, Chatham, and Barachois, was appointed vicar-general, and in 1860 was consecrated bishop of the southern diocese of New Brunswick, with the seat of his see at St. John. Bishop Sweeny visited Rome in 1866, in 1870 (when he attended the Vatican council), and again in 1881. During his episcopate St. John's cathedral has been completed, and the bishop's palace and St. Malachi's and St. Joseph's school buildings have been erected. He also established the charity hospital and St. Patrick's industrial school, and was one of the projectors and founders of St. Joseph's college, St. John.
