William Walsh

WALSH, William, Canadian R. C. archbishop, born in Waterford, Ireland, in November, 1804; died in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 10 August, 1858. He was educated in theology and philosophy in St. John's college, Waterford, and was ordained a priest on 25 March, 1828. He exercised his ministry for the following ten years in the archdiocese of Dublin, where he was nominated bishop of Calcutta. He was permitted to decline the appointment, but in 1834. in obedience to the command of his superiors, he consented to become coadjutor vicar apostolic of Nova Scotia. On the creation of the see of Halifax in 1845 he became bishop, and in 1852 he was made archbishop of the same diocese. He not only contributed to the advancement of the Roman Catholic church in Nova Scotia, but did much to increase the general well-being of the province. He labored to create a Roman Catholic literature, and for this purpose published translations of the works of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Griffet's " Meditations," Berthier's " God and I," and the "Spiritual Maxims" of St. Vincent de Paul. His original works are "Lenten Manual" (New York, 1855) ; "Catholic Offering" (1855) ; and "Eucharistica" (1856).
