Belvedere


Bishop Thomas Power on his first visit to Belvedere on or about Sept. 9, 1870, the day of his arrival in Newfoundland.  Since he landed at Shea's Wharf a 3:00 pm this is probably the next day.  The sisters in the photograph are most likely:

Front - Sr. M. Clare Tarahin (Superior)
Second Row - Novice, Sr. M. Vincent Nugent (Novice Mistress); Novice, St. M. Ignatius Guinane.
Near Door - Sr. M. Alexius Tobin; Sr. M. Vincent O'Donoghue

The ten priests are probably:

Very Rev. Dean Cleary
Very Rev. Vicar  General Conway
Revs    J. O'Donnell
 "      J. Ryan
 "      J. Ryan
 "      T. McGrath
 "      Dr. Doyle
 "      P. Delaney
 "      J. Roche
 "      J. Scott

[and, presumably, the gentleman in the splendid hat is Bishop Thomas Power]
