As John enters eternal life, he continues to gather people together. Hundreds attended his Vigil Prayers, Funeral Mass and Committal at the cemetery last Friday. Amidst the sadness of his departure at a relatively young age, Catholics gathered to pray and to remember. He was Principal of Catholic Regional College, Keilor North and Sacred Heart College, Kyneton. Both Colleges worked together providing refreshments, printing, choir and a portable address system. Our parishioners worked for hours in the kitchen to cater for the five hundred in the Parish Centre after the burial.
43 of John’s 45 first cousins attended the Mass concelebrated by nine priests. Later comments heard were ‘I was proud to be a Catholic today’ – ‘everything went so well’
