Peacefully with his fellow Basilian Fathers at Anglin House on Sunday, October 25, 2015.

Fr. Chris was born in St. Catharine’s ON on September 17, 1931.

He was predeceased by his parents George Iredale and Martha McQuilkin as well as by his brother Andrew.

He is survived by his sister, Sr. Marcella Iredale, CSJ. He attended St. Catharine’s Collegiate for a year and St. Michael’s College School from 1945 to 1949.

He then entered the Congregation of St. Basil and was professed in 1950. After studies in Toronto at the University of St. Michael’s College and St. Basil’s Seminary he was ordained a priest in 1958.

Subsequently, his priestly ministry was mostly as a teacher, librarian and administrator in Toronto at Michael Power High School both before and after serving from 1962 to 1978 at St. Michael’s College School where his duties as vice principal in charge of discipline made him well known to all the students in the school.

Fr. Chris also served at St. Basil’s Church in Ottawa beginning in 1991 and at Holy Rosary Church in Toronto until 1994. It was then that he was assigned to live at 95 St. Joseph Street, Toronto for the last 21 years of his life.
