He entered the Society of Jesus in 1890 and made his novitiate at Sault-au-Recollet, where the common novitiate of all Jesuits in Canada was located at that time. From 1892 until 1905, Montreal was the scene of Father O’Gara’s early life as a religious, both as a student of philosophy and theology, and as a professor at Loyola, then on Drummond Street. Finally after fifteen years of preparation he was ordained in the Basilica in Ottawa, his home town, on August 6, 1905. After a year at Loyola as recreation master, he went to Poughkeepsie to make his tertianship, the last year of Jesuit formation. A great part of the latter years of his life was spent in Western Canada. He was three years at St. Boniface College as professor of English before being named as superior of the Jesuit church at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. In 1914 he was appointed pastor of St. Ignatius’ parish, Winnipeg, where he remained for twenty years. Father O'Gara gave up his parish in 1934 and returned to Loyola for a last time. He loved life and endeared himself to the many who came in contact with him. Previous to his last illness, he was accus- tomed to take walks every day, and these were occasions for widening his circle of friends, whose names seemed never to be forgotten. The young and the old, Protestant and Catholic, the poor and the rich were all but parts of the fabric of life, and the pattern was intensely interesting to Father O’Gara. He displayed great patience in his illness which cut off so much of his contact with life, and bravely accepted death when it came. R.I.P.
