Archdiocese of Melbourne.
After undertaking seminary studies in St Patrick's College, Carlow, Eire, Joseph was ordained on 11 June 1960 at the Cathedral of the Assumption, Carlow Eire. Shortly after, he arrived in Melbourne and was appointed Assistant Priest in the parish of Ormond (1961) followed by Newport (1965), Oakleigh (1970) and Mount Waverley (1973). He was then appointed Parish Priest at Dandenong North (1974), Kyneton (1986), Forest Hill (1994), Oakleigh (2002) and Balwyn (2006). Upon retirement in 2010, Joseph was appointed Pastor Emeritus.
Joseph served the Church in a very positive and pastorally enriching manner, giving fine example to both his brother priests and the Archdiocese of Melbourne for 62 years and we are most grateful for his untiring service. May he rest in peace.
