Synopsis

Memoir Of The Life Of The Late Rev. P. Roe. With Copious Extracts From His Correspondence, Diaries, And Other Remains by Samuel Madden. This biographical volume surveys the life and ministry of Rev. Peter Roe, a long-serving Anglican pastor at St. Mary’s, Kilkenny, celebrated for spiritual leadership, pastoral care, and practical philanthropy. Drawing on Roe’s diaries, letters to family and correspondents (Miss L, Mrs. Roe, Lady Harriet Forde), sermons, and contemporary notices, the book traces Roe’s journey from early education and collegiate life in Dublin to ordination in Cork and his vigorous promotion of evangelical Anglican faith, church order, and social reform. It highlights his public work in church rebuilding, Sunday schools, baptism and sacramental practice, and his leadership of the Protestant Orphan Society. It also preserves his practical pastoral guidance, including a model program for a young clergyman. The narrative emphasizes Roe’s frail health from the late 1830s, his steadfast trust in Scripture, and his posthumous commemoration through sermons, tablets, and memorials. Across years of illness, travel, and controversy, the memoir presents a balanced portrait of a reform-minded pastor whose life bridged piety, doctrinal firmness, and public mercy.
