Born 08/03/1929.
Ordained 25/07/1954.
Diocese of Lismore.
Anthony, the third of ten children of Bill and Ada Casey (nee Gaudron) received his early schooling at Urunga, Dorrigo, Bellingen and St. John's College, Woodlawn, before moving on to his theology studies at Springwood and Manly.
He was ordained to the Priesthood in 1954.
Tony worked in many parishes across the Lismore Diocese before taking up his longest and most fruitful appointment in Coffs Harbour.
As Parish Priest of Coffs Harbour from December 1972 to December 1993, he was the longest serving Parish Priest in the history of the Parish.
Tony died in Ballina and was farewelled at a Requiem Mass on January 16 in St Augustine's Church Coffs Harbour, in accord with his wishes.
The Mass was a fitting tribute to a priest who had done so much in his 22 years in Coffs Harbour for the church and for his people through his spiritual, sacramental and pastoral care and in his development of Catholic education and aged care in the community.
Bishop Gregory Homeming OCD, Bishop of the Lismore Diocese, concelebrated the Requiem Mass with 20 priests of the diocese.
May he rest in peace.
