RIGHT REV. MONSIGNOR MORKANE
The death occurred at Bishop's House, Dunedin, last week of the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Morkane, - D.D.; M.A., at the age of sixty. Though he had not enjoyed good health for some years, his death came as a surprise to his most intimate friends. .
Monsignor Morkane was born at Port Chalmers in 1881, educated at Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington,, and Sydney, and ordained in Rome in 1907. In 1910 he was appointed to the professorial staff of Holy Cross College, Mosgiel, an association which lasted nearly a quarter of a century. He became rector in 1920, and the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred in 1925. He again visited Rome in 1934, being created a domestic prelate by the Pope. On his return he was appointed administrator of St. Joseph's Cathedral, Dunedin. He made a health visit to Rome in 1939, returning shortly before the outbreak of war, and since then his health had gradually failed.
