The Barry family played a key role in the histories of both Barry University and the Adrian Dominican Sisters who founded the college. The idea of building the school was conceived of by the Most Reverent Patrick Barry, Bishop of St. Augustine, and his sister, Mother Mary Gerald Barry, Prioress of the Adrian Dominican Sisters. They received support from their brother, Monsignor William Barry, pastor of St. Patrick’s Church in Miami Beach.
