  • Fr Pat Mooney RIP

    Last month, Fr Pat Mooney, passed away in Mackay.  He was well loved right across this diocese.  A gentle man, who loved to yarn and listen, he served generously as a priest  for over 51 years.  The last ten years were marked by ill-health yet still he continued to serve as his health allowed. May he enter into the reward prepared for a good and faithful servant.
