The growing years for me were lived in the bayside suburbs of Melbourne.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sent off to Mentone Grammar School as a four year old only to emerge at 17.\u00a0My early knowledge of Ivanhoe was about Saturday morning adventures on the\u00a0bus to be delivered at the Ivanhoe Grammar School to engage in deadly combat\u00a0in cricket or football matches.<\/em><\/p>\n

My first awareness of a call to the priesthood came as a 12 year old almost\u00a0dying of boredom at the school chapel service. I heard and responded very\u00a0powerfully to the reading from Ezekiel, chapter 37 which is the dramatic\u00a0vision of the ‘valley of the dry bones’, when God says: ‘ I will put my\u00a0Spirit in you and you will live’.<\/em><\/p>\n

At 15 years old I found my way to my local parish church of St Aidan’s\u00a0Parkdale and became very involved in the youth group there. It was at St\u00a0Aidan’s that Gail and I met and started our relationship. We have been\u00a0together since then and have been married for 36 years. We have 3 adult\u00a0offspring, Evelyn, Robert and Lachlan.<\/em><\/p>\n

After leaving school and before I offered as a candidate for the Diocese of\u00a0Melbourne I was engaged with youth work with disaffected and hostile young\u00a0people in and around the prisons system.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been assistant curate in Templestowe and Werribee. Priest in charge\u00a0at Fairfield. Incumbent at Fairfield with Norhcote, South Darebin, Glenroy\u00a0with Merlynston and Bundoora.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been Area Dean of Preston, Coburg and currently serve as Area Dean\u00a0for Yarra\/ Plenty.<\/em><\/p>\n
