RIP Peter Hoy

Peter Hoy, who shared many years with us as a confrere, died in Geelong this week.

Peter was ordained in 1957 and was sent to Rome for further studies. He specialised in Church History and returned to teach in Canberra and Croydon. He acted as editor of Compass Theology Review, 1968-1971 and was Superior of Croydon Monastery in the early 1970s. He took active part in many of the renewal programs of the 1970s.

He left the congregation in 1981. In 1982 he married Hennie, a former OLSH Sister. They had 40 years of marriage until her death last year.

Peter died at 91. Brian Gallagher kept in touch with him and, providentially, visited him the day before Peter died (and did not anticipate his dying). Brian said that Peter always asked after members of the Province.

May he rest in peace.
