Timeline

1919

Andrew Morrison, SJ (5 June 1919 – 26 January 2004) was a Guyanese Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, journalist, and pro-democracy activist.

Morrison was born on 5 June 1919 in Georgetown, British Guiana.

He attended high school at St. Stanislaus College and attended a Jesuit institution for college.

He studied accounting, and following graduation, he returned to Georgetown to work at an accounting firm.

1949

Morrison joined the Society of Jesus in 1949 at the age of 30, and was sent to Great Britain to study for the priesthood, as Guyana is a member of the Jesuits' British Province.

He was ordained a priest on 31 July 1957, the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus.

1976

1978

Morrison's first international public episode, was his coverage of the Jim Jones led mass suicide-massacre, which took place in 1978 in Guyana.

A year later, an assassination attempt upon his life failed because a fellow Jesuit was mistaken for Morrison; Fr Darke was brutally murdered.

Such attempts to frustrate Morrison's quest for justice and rights had absolutely no effect upon him.

He publicly exposed a plot by members of the governing regime to assassinate an opposition Guyanese politician (Rodney) in the paper he headed, the Catholic Standard.

Amidst awards and honours from the international community he lamented the state of his countrymen and further hardships experienced by the certain fellow Jesuit elements, supporters of his cause.

Fr Connors was deported from Guyana.

Morrison died in his Georgetown home on 26 January 2004, at the age of 84.

He was buried in the Sacred Heart Church in Georgetown.

Fredrick Kissoon, Ricky Singh and Hugh O'Shaughnessy described him as a 'Symbol of courage' and one who went about living serenely amidst insecurity; an insecurity that had his co-workers quite nervous but was of no concern to him.

He is regarded as an important figure contributing to media freedom in Guyana.
