Bishop Terry Curtin has been appointed the new bishop of our Northern Region of our diocese which included our parish. He was ordained a priest in 1971, was an assistant priest at Noble Park before beginning his tertiary teaching ministry at Mercy Teachers College in 1975, then later at Australian Catholic University. In 2008, he received an additional appointment as parish priest of Greythorn. Our previous bishop, Tim Costelloe was appointed to Perth in February 2012. Since then Fr Martin Ashe has been an episcopal vicar carrying out the duties of a regional bishop, as well as parish priest of Mernda, Whittlesea and Kinglake.
