Michael Hollings was born in 1921, in Camberley, the son of Lt-Cdr Richard Hollings, an Anglican whose family built churches in Yorkshire and wouldn't allow a Catholic in the house and Molly, nee Hamilton-Dalrymple, a Catholic and a Scot descended, interestingly, from a Cardinal, Thomas Weld, whose father gave Stonyhurst to the Society of Jesus. Michael's father died of tuberculosis when he was six, leaving his mother to bring up three children on her own.
Michael was educated by the Jesuits at Beaumont College (which he hated) and at 17, as war broke out, talked himself into Oxford, where he spent two years at the then-St Catherine's Society, before attending Sandhurst and being commissioned in the Coldstream Guards.
Hollings devoted nearly fifty years to the priesthood. He was ordained in 1950, following service in the British Army during World War II. He served four years in London before being named chaplain of Westminster Cathedral in 1954. Beginning in 1958, Hollings worked as a religious adviser, first for Associated Television Ltd., then for Rediffusion and later Thames Television. In 1970 he ventured to St. Anselm’s Parish in Southall and remained in service there until 1978. Since then, Hollings worked as a parish priest at St Mary of the Angels Catholic Church in Bayswater.
Michael also worked as an adviser to the Prison Christian Fellowship, served on the Swann Committee, chaired the North Kensington Action Group and the Portobello Trust, and served on the board of governors for the Sion-Manning School and for the St. Charles Catholic Sixth Form College.
Hollings is known for his numerous books, including Hey You!: A Call to Prayer, The Pastoral Care of Homosexuals, You Must Be Joking, Lord, St. Therese of Lisieux, Go in Peace, Christ Died at Notting Hill, By Love Alone, Prayers for the Depressed, You Are Not Alone, Dying to Live, Thoughts of Peace, and Love Heals.
Physical Characteristics: Last months of his life Hollings was in hospital, fighting an infection in his foot complicated by diabetes.
