Please
pray for the soul of
Bro Francis O'Sullivan.
Francis fought in both World Wars, gained a law degree and
practised law before finally being admitted as a candidate in
1957.
Before he could leave for Rome to complete his studies for the
priesthood, he died in Brisbane in 1958. |
|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr Dominic Fogarty.
Dominic was plagued with health problems from the time he was in
Rome studying for the priesthood.
He arrived in Australia in 1957 and served parishes in Echuca
and Mareeba before succumbing to further illness
in 1959. |

|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr Joseph Condon.
After service in World War II, Joseph studied in England,
Ireland and Rome. On his return to Australia in 1959, he
served the people of St James Coorparoo before going to St
Joseph's in Cairns. He took ill and died there soon after. |
|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr Patrick Doyle.
Patrick was born in Ballyling Co Carlow. He came to
Australia in 1933 and to Echuca. Later in the thirties, he
was sent to the parishes of the Atherton Tableland where he
served the Atherton and Mareeba parishes. He came to
Whinstanes and Coorparoo before travelling to the USA in search
of a cure for the disease that wracked his body. The
Augustinians had a special bedroom built for him on the ground
floor of St James Priory. |

|
Please
pray for the soul of
Bro James Fitzgerald.
Bro Greg, as he was known to all, came to the Augustinians after
an early life in cattle. He was accepted into the Order in
1922 but did not return to Australia until the outbreak of World
War II. He served a year in Cairns before being sent to
Villanova College and St James Coorparoo where he was reknown as
a priory receptionist and as an elite wood carver. |
|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr Les Seary.
The newly ordained Fr Seary spent his first years as an RAF
Chaplain before being sent to Nigeria as a missionary.
When the Australian Province was established, Fr Les was
recalled to St James parish and to Villanova College and,
finally, to Cairns. At his first opportunity, he took a
posting to return to his missionary work in Nigeria. Apart
from short holidays, Fr Les remained in Africa until bad health
forced his return to Brisbane. |

|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr Thomas Mescall.
Thomas arrived in Australia in 1962. While he spent tome
in parishes in North Queensland and in Victoria, Thomas's
long-term service was to Villanova College. It seems
appropriate, therefore, that his years of retirement were also
spent in the Community of that college. |
|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr Phillip Kehoe.
Phillip
arrived in Australia in 1948 and served the people of parishes
in Victoria and North Queensland. He also served as
Chaplain of the nearby Princess Alexandra Hospital while
stationed at Coorparoo. Phillip had a beautiful, trained
voice and made appearances on Irish and Australian television as
well as making records of sacred music and Irish ballads. |

|
Please
pray for the soul of
Fr David Brimson.
Most members of the Province serve in Victoria and Queensland
and even in New South Wales as well. Father Dave did all
this and acted as Chaplain for Griffith University in
Brisbane; but he also spent arduous months travelling in
western NSW and throughout the remote regions of Western
Australia in a non-stop program to update religious and
parishioners following the changes of Vatican II. |
|
Please pray for
the soul of
Fr Jim Bolton.
Father Jim never served in one of the Province's schools but
that did not make him any less of a teacher ...
leading his congregation, whether in the parish church or from
the back of a truck was what he did best.
Father Jim was parish priest of St James' Parish Coorparoo in
the 1970s and again in the 1990s. |

|
Please pray for the soul
of
Fr Rod Cameron.
The Province has lost a wonderful priest, boys have lost a
magical football coach, parishes have lost a gentle leader
and our indigenous people
have lost a wonderful friend and supporter.
Literature has lost a poet
and various church organisations
have lost a leader. |
|
Please pray for the soul
of
Fr Ron Bopf.
After his service in World War II,
Fr Ron began his working life as a teacher in a country
Queensland school.
All through his ministry
he remained
an Augustinian teacher.
He passed on to his students
a thirst for good reading
and a love of song and dance. |

|
|

|
Please pray for the soul
of
Fr Michael Morahan.
Fr Mike was a teacher of young men,
a thinker and a leader of the Province.
He was the last Augustinian
to serve as Rector
of Villanova College, Coorparoo.
Fr Mike's final mission was as
Asst Executive Director
for Faith and Religious Education
to the Catholic Education Office
of the Cairns Diocese. |
