Biography
Born in Wellington[1] to Cecil and Hazel Leamy, Leamy was one of five children.[2][3] One of his sisters became a nun (Sister Patricia Leamy, Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary).[4] He was educated by the Brigidine Sisters and later by the Marist Fathers at St Patrick's College in Silverstream.[5] He studied for the priesthood at the Marist Seminary in Greenmeadows, and was ordained on 21 July 1958.[1][5]
Leamy served as Bishop of Rarotonga from 1984 to 1996.[1] He resigned from that See on 8 November 1996 and was appointed Bishop Assistant and Vicar general of Auckland on that same day.[5] He retired from that position in 2009 after 14 years' service.[4]
Leamy died in Auckland on 1 January 2022, at the age of 87.[1][6]
