Born 27/01/1915;
Date of Ordination: 23/07/1939 - Archdiocese of Melbourne.
Paul, as he was known, was ordained in 1939 and served as assistant priest at Armadale, Clifton Hill (1942) and South Melbourne (1946), before being made the first parish priest of Blackburn in January 1954. In 1975 he moved to Ormond and then to Greythorn in 1984 until his retirement in 2008.
In his homily, Archbishop Hart said Paul was a pioneer of the liturgical movement, a gifted pastor, esteemed as being comfortable with children, teenagers, young marrieds, families and senior citizens'. He paid tribute to Paul's gifts – his humility, experience and unparalleled willingness to engage with people. His legacy to the Church in Melbourne will be his gifted work as pastor, his pioneering work in the liturgical movement and his breadth of mind and heart,' Archbishop Hart said.
Rest now in peace dear Paul.
