SPECIAL COLLECTION FATHERS’ DAY APPEAL FOR RETIRED PRIESTS

The Melbourne Church has an increasing number of retired priests. This year, ten more priests retired mainly due to age of 75 years and a couple due to illness. This brings to 97 the number of retired priests. This year eleven parish priests retired: Fathers Jack Brady (East Kew) Karmel Borg (Deer Park) Peter Carrucan (St Albans South) Tom Doyle (Gardenvale) Tony Guelen (Dandenong) Lou Heriot (Brighton East) Joe Hynan (Balwyn) John Murphy (Immigration Office) Noel Oliver (Williamstown) Mick Sheehy (Doncaster) and Len Thomas (Ivanhoe West & Hospital Chaplain). Please give generously to this worthy appeal. Donation envelopes are provided at the end of each pew.
The Priests’ Retirement Fund is a registered charity and donations are tax-deductible so please use the envelopes for a receipt.
