Death of Father Dempsey, M.M.
R.I.P.
Father Arthur Dempsey, the oldest Maryknoll
Father in Hong Kong, died on 30 January 1974, at Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital, aged 70,
having spent more than forty years as a Maryknoll Missioner in Hong Kong and South China.
Father Dempsey was born in New York City on 22 March 1903. He entered Maryknoll in 1919.
He was ordained a Maryknoll priest on 27 January 1929, and in mid-September of that same
year departed for his first missions post in Wuchow, South China.
He served as acting Maryknoll superior in Wuchow at various times before World War II, and
was appointed Maryknoll Superior at Chungking in December 1944. On 8 December 1945, he was
awarded the Emblem for Meritorious Civilian Service.
Father Dempsey assisted Father McGuire of the Mission Secretariat in Washington, D.C. for
one year. In April 1954, he returned to Hong Kong, and for years assisted greatly in
refugee relief work, especially in the Ngau Tau Kok area of Kowloon, where he was parish
priest for many years.
In July 1970, he was forced to return to the States for medical attention. A year later,
with great determination, he returned to Hong Kong, to serve in any capacity his weakened
body would allow.
Father Dempesy¡¦s tireless work for the poor and suffering refugees in Fuk Wah Village,
Ngau Tau Kok, are legendary. The thousands of Chinese people who benefited from
¡§Taam
San-foo¡¦s¡¨ kind and generous attention in a period of urgent and severe need will
long remember and appreciate him.
The large and deeply moved congregation at the Requiem Mass at Kwun Tong Pastoral Centre,
Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong, and at the funeral in Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Cemetery,
Kowloon, testified to the love his people had for him.
8 February 1974
