FATHER PETER RYAN

Fr Peter was ordained in 1939 and was a priest of this Archdiocese for 72 years. He was in a group of pioneering priests  promoting  liturgical renewal and served on the Liturgy Commission for many years while being parish priest of Blackburn, Ormond and Greythorn. He was a devoted golfer. Being so alert and fit  he  did  not retire  until he was about 93 years old.
May he rest after all his labours.  I enjoyed being his assistant priest in 1973….. Fr Kevin
