DEATH OF FR KEVIN CONDON, O.P.
Parishioners will be saddened to hear of the death of former parish priest, Fr Kevin Condon, on Monday night at Nazareth House, after a long battle with cancer. He was 89.
Born in Ireland, Fr Kevin joined the Dominican Order in 1949, and was ordained priest in 1956. He spent most of his priestly life in Australia, including about twelve years as Parish Priest in Camberwell. He was a dynamic leader and worked hard to energise and involve parishioners in the work of the Church. He was a strong proponent of the Movement for a Better World, a movement for social justice and spiritual renewal founded in 1952 under the inspiration of Pope Pius XII. Fr Kevin also served for a decade as chaplain to Nazareth House in Ballarat, and was wonderfully cared for in his final years by the sisters at our local Nazareth House. A short biography by his friend, Fr Michael Commane of the Irish Province may be found here. Tributes or Messages of Condolence may be placed on the Tobin Brothers' "wall" here: https://tobinbrothers.com.au/tribute/details/20487/Fr-Kevin-Condon-OP/condolences.html Fr Kevin's funeral will be celebrated on Wednesday, 23rd June at 10am. Because of the health regulations, it will be necessary to book, but a few places are still available, and the funeral will be live-streamed. There will also be a Vigil with Rosary and Scripture on Tuesday evening at 7.30p.m. We suggest that this be mostly for those unable to attend on Wednesday. Again, attendance will be limited to 75; to book, please ring the parish office on 9912 6870 during business hours. There are still places available. Video on Fr Kevin's life and ministry (5 mins)
