CHURCHES OF ST. ELIZABETH AND ST. JOHN. 271

REV. HENRY A. BRANN, D.D.,
PASTOR OF ST. ELIZABETHS AND ST. JOHNS.

REV. HENRY A. BRANN, D.D., the present pas-
tor of Fort Washington and Kingsbrldge, was
born on August 15, 1837, in Parkstown, County Meath,
Ireland. He came as a boy to this country with his
parents. His classical studies were made in St. Mary's
College, Wilmington, Delaware, and in St. Francis Xa-
viers College, West Fifteenth Street, New York, where he
was graduated in 1857. He was originally intended for
the law; but an accident in which he was nearly killed,
by the falling of a house in Jersey City, during a
thunder-
storm, turned his mind to the more holy calling
of the priesthood. He went to the Seminary of St.
Sulpice, Paris, in the fall of 1857, where he remained
three years. He then went to the American College,
Rome, and was ordained its first priest by Cardinal
Patrizzi, on June 14, 1862.
Dr. Brann, on arriving from Rome, in August, 1862,
was appointed Vice-President of Seton Hall College, and
Professor of Dogmatic Theology in the seminary con-
nected with it.
