Irish Jesuit Provincial: 20 July 1959-1965
First Rector of Tullabeg: 2 September 1888-25 August 1890
Fr. Thomas Feighan Gillooley was born in 1920, in Fore Co. Westmeath. He was Parish Priest of Tubberclair and a man who led Offaly to their first ever all Ireland Senior Football title. He served as a curate in Tullamore from 1958 to 1975 and in 1989 he became an Offaly Sports Star. After coming close to taking All Ireland glory in the early 1960s Offaly then returned to the bad old days of being eliminated in the first round. The first changes came about when Fr. Gillooley was appointed curate and shortly after his arrival he took over the Tullamore Minor Football Club. They won the Leinster in 1960 and 1962 and the All Ireland in 1964. He died aged 73 in 1993.
