Daughter of Michael Barry Harvey and Mary Teresa Keogh.
Entered the Order of the Sisters of Charity.
Obituary Catholic Press 29th July 1926
FORMER RECTRESS OF ST. VINCENT'S COLLEGE.
The Rev. Mother M. Borgia. (Harvey), of the Sisters' of Charity, who was in charge of Mount St. Evin's Hospital, Melbourne, died in that institution on the 19th inst., the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, founder and patron of the Sisters of Charity. Three years ago she became Mother Rectress of Mount St.Evin's Private Hospital, and she displayed the same high qualities in the new position that were so noticeable in her work in Sydney. Her health became impaired 18 months ago, but up to six months ago she discharged her multifarious duties with characteristic zeal and completeness. Her tact was wonderful, and she had a most amiable disposition. Those who were privileged to visit her in Her last illness were edified by her spirit of resignation to God's holy will. She had all the consolations of religion and the constant prayers of the Sisters.
Before entering the Order, Miss Harvey, who- was a native of Banshire, County Tipperary, was widely known for her social activities in Adelaide. She was zealous in works of charity, and founded the Catholic Women's Association in the South Australian capital. Her work in this sphere was of great value to her community when she joined the Sisters of Charity upwards of 20 years ago. She was first attached to St. Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, and it was not long before she came prominently under the notice of her Superiors by her thoroughness and devotion to duty. After a comparatively short time she was appointed to the exacting office of ministress, and carried out the duties for 11 years. Her close knowledge of hospital requirements and finance, combined with rare administrative capacity and sound business acumen,singled her out for special distinction, and there was no surprise when she was appointed Mother Rectress of St. Vincent's College, Pott 's Point, Sydney, where she did excellent work. From that post she was transferred to Mount St. Evin's, and the result justified the selection. The Sisters of Charity have suffered severe losses in quick succession by the deaths of the able Mother Rectress of St. Vincent's, Sydney,and the Mother Rectress of Mount St.Evin's.
Masses for the repose of the soul of Mother Borgia were celebrated in the community chapel at Mount St. Evin's on Tuesday by the Rev. Father Moloney, S.J., Very Rev.Father J.- Lonergan, Adm., and his Lordship the Bishop of Goulburn (Right Rev. Dr. Barry). Among those present were the Sisters and nurses, Dr. and Mrs.Devine, Dr. and Mrs. O'Sullivan, Mr. D.Slattery, Miss J. Cody, Mr. P. Cody, and Miss Maher.
The funeral took place in the Melbourne General Cemetery. Rev. Father P. Gleeson officiated at the graveside. There were also present the Very Rev. Father E. Frost, S.J.(Rector of Xavier College), Very Rev. Father J. Murphy, S.J. (Rector of Newman College), Very Rev. Prior Hogan, O.P., Rev.Fathers Moloney, S.J., and J. McNamara,P.P.— R.I.P
