Henry Henry

"The Most Reverend" Henry Henry D.D. (22 May 1846-8 March 1908) was an Irish Roman Catholic Prelate and until 1908 he held the title Lord Bishop of Down and Connor.

Career

Dr Henry was born in Loughguile, on 22 May 1846. After his education at St Patrick's College, Maynooth he was ordained for the Diocese of Down and Connor in 1870. He was appointed to St Malachy's Diocesan College to teach French and Mathematics. He served as President of the College from 1876-1895 before his Episcopal nomination. He is the longest ever serving President of the College.

He was appointed 25th Bishop of Down and Connor on 6 August 1895. Dr Henry believed that a religious order of priests could give invaluable help in the densely populated area of West Belfast. Accordingly he invited the Redemptorists to open a church there. It was a welcome invitation as they were already looking for a foundation in the North. They had a lot of mission work there; they were growing in numbers and were about to establish an independent province for Ireland. Only the year before their Superior General had told them to get two new foundations as a preparation for this province. Hence they gladly accepted the invitation of Bishop Henry to come to Belfast. He was one of the best loved bishops of the diocese, showing energy and zeal. His death occurred suddenly, in March 1908.
