Hide Profile

Born of Irish parents in France, Thomas Grant received his formal education at Ushaw College, Durham, England. Afterward, Grant went to Rome, where he was ordained and eventually became the rector of the English College from 1844-1851. While there, he also helped to petition the Pope for the restoration of a diocesan hierarchy in England. After the hierarchy had been restored, he was consecrated the Bishop of Southwark and returned to England in 1851. Toward the end of his life, he participated in Vatican Council I, where he was considered one of the most able theologians among the English bishops. In 1870, he died in Rome.
