Thomas Joseph Carr (10 May 1839 – 6 May 1917) was the second Roman Catholic archbishop of Melbourne, Australia.[1][3]
Carr died at Melbourne on 6 May 1917 and was buried in St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne.
Legacy
St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne was his largest accomplishment, but there are many other markers to Carr's lasting contributions, including the parish of Werribee, Victoria, which he established in 1906. In the south-western Melbourne suburb of Tarneit, Thomas Carr College is named in his honour.
