And it was, very fittingly, - in the rather hidden though important work of Bursar that he spent his last quiet years in Belvedere.īorn: 03 February 1843, Dublin Entered: 04 October 1860, St Stanislaus College, Tullabeg, County Offaly Ordained: 1875 Final vows: 02 February 1879 Died: 16 June 1912, Milltown Park, Dublin
He was successively Rector or Superior of various houses over many years: and then as now a Rector of a College tended to be better known by parents and friends of the students than to other members of the Province outside his own Community. Thus his early years in Rome were taken up with jobs that brought no attention to himself: e.g., he was, for a time, Editor of 'Lettres de Rome'. This is significant, for the successive works that were assigned to him were such as would - for the most part, - have drawn little attention to him from his fellow Jesuits in Ireland. Father Frank Joy was very well known and liked in the Province, a thing which emphasises the friendliness and religious spirit that belonged to him. Father Joy went to Belvedere in 1971 and remained there in the Office of Bursar and Assistant Bursar until his death in 1976. father Joy spent some years at Retreat work in Leeson Street (1968-1970) and Milltown Park. After four years Superior in Manresa Retreat House, he was Rector in the Crescent, Limerick from 1960 to 1965, and then Rector in Clongowes from 1965 to 1968. On his return to Ireland in 1946, after some time in Gardiner Street, and Belvedere, he was appointed Rector in Mungret College, in which office he remained from 1950 to 1956. Father Joy spent the years 1936-1946 in Rome in the varied works assigned to him. His Tertianship was at St Beunos (1935-1936), and he pronounced his Final Vows in Rome, in the Church of the Holy Name, on February 2nd, 1938. After the normal course of studies he was ordained priest in Milltown Park on July 31st 1934.
Born in Killorglin, Co, Kerry, on March 23rd 1903, he entered the Noviceship in Tullabeg on August 31st 1920.
