Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contains personal materials relating to friars after they have left the order, passed away, or transferred to another province.

Within the broader collection, each Friar is sorted as a series.

Biographical / Historical

Father John Dominic Kavanaugh was born August 5, 1878. He was elevated to the priesthood on June 24, 1909 and named as chaplain of our sisters in Sinsinawa Wisconsin. In frail health he nevertheless faithfully and vigorously fulfilled his duty for 23 years. Later

assigned to our convent of The Most Holy Rosary in Minneapolis, he showed himself equally zealous in parish ministry, and as subprior for six years. Later elected prior in that same convent he dedicated himself totally to the apostolic work. In 1944 he was assigned to the content of St. Pius V, Chicago, and in the following year he became the first pastor of our house in Canton, South Dakota, returning after one year to St. Pius V in 1947, this zealous apostolic man, so oblivious of himself and so eloquent, slept in the Lord on September 24, 1948.
