Father Michael Morrison (October 1908, Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, U.K. - April 1973, Dublin, Republic of Ireland[1]) was an Irish Jesuit priest. Educated at Sexton St. Christian Brothers, and at the Jesuit Mungret College, Limerick, he trained as a Jesuit Priest in St Stanislaus College, Tullabeg, Co. Offaly from 1925, and was ordained on 31 July 1939.[2]
He was teaching at Belvedere College when in 1941 during the Second World War, the British army called on Irish priests to serve as chaplains.
He was a British Army chaplain associated with the allied liberation of Belsen, a notorious death camp in April 1945.[3] He made that atrocious camp into a center for daily Holy Mass. Several people of varying religious persuasions attended his services.
Following the war he went to Australia working as a teacher.
He collapsed while walking up the steps in Belvedere House and Gardens and died in Jervis Street Hospital soon after in April 1973.[1] He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.[2]
