Edward Sullivan (18 August 1832 – 6 January 1899) was a Canadian Anglican priest.[1]
Sullivan was the son of a Wesleyan minister and was born in Lurgan, County Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1832. He attended grammar school at Clonmel in County Tipperary and went on to be educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[2]
He emigrated to Upper Canada in 1858 at which point he was ordered to the diaconate by Diocese of Huron Bishop Benjamin Cronyn.[3] He was ordained as a priest in 1859. He married Mary Hutchison, a family friend from Ireland. Following Hutchison's death he remarried Frances Renaud, who he had five children with.[3]
His first appointment was a curate near, London, Ontario in 1859. In 1863 he was appointed to St. George's Church in Montreal. In 1868 he left Montreal to become the rector of Holy Trinity, Chicago from 1868 to 1879.[4] Sullivan was at Holy Trinity during the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, during which the church burned to the ground. Sullivan and his congregation raised funds to rebuild Holy Trinity in mere months.[3] In 1879 Sullivan returned to Canada and of St George, Montreal as rector.[4]
