The Most Reverend Thomas Joseph Brosnahan, Archbishop Emeritus, C.S.Sp. (30 March 1905 – 26 January 1996) was Archbishop of Freetown and Bo in Sierra Leone.[1]

Early life

Born in Whitegate, Ireland, on 30 March 1905.[2]

Priestly life

He entered the Holy Ghost Fathers and his ordination took place on 16 June 1929.[1][2]

Ministry in Nigeria

His ministry in East Nigeria began in 1933 where he remained for 20 years.[1]

Bishop of Freetown and Bo

He arrived in Freetown in 1953 to succeed Archbishop Ambrose Kelly who had died the previous year.[1] He was appointed Bishop of Freetown and Bo and began his ministry in Sierra Leone.[1][2]

The main focus of his work was education and he made tremendous progress in this area.[1] He founded Christ the King College in Bo the year of his arrival.[1]

On 9 April 1961, he made history when he performed the first ordination of a diocesan priest, Joseph Ganda, at the Immaculate Heart Church in Bo.[1]

He was a council father in Sessions 1 (11 October 1962 to 8 December 1962), Session 2 (29 September 1963 to 4 December 1963), Session 3 (14 September 1964 to 21 November 1964) and Session 4 (14 September 1965 to 8 December 1965) of the Second Vatican Council.[2]

First archbishop of Freetown and Bo

Bishop Brosnahan achieved another career milestone when he became the first Archbishop of Freetown and Bo in 1971.[1] From 1971 to 1975, he was president of the Inter-territorial Catholic Bishops' Conference of The Gambia and Sierra Leone.[1] In 1975, he erected the Archdiocesan Secretariat Santanno House on Howe Street.[1] He retired in 1980 and was succeeded by Joseph Ganda.[1]

Legacy

Christ the King College, which he founded in 1953, went on to become one of the biggest and most popular colleges in Sierra Leone.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} Today it is a technical college that is a subsidiary of the University of Sierra Leone and has many prominent figures among its alumni among them politician Charles Margai and former vice president of Sierra Leone Solomon Berewa. A number of international students from Liberia, Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria attend the college.
