RIP John Conroy MSC

John Conroy died yesterday at 11:00 pm. Greg McEnnally and the sisters were with him. Greg and the sisters have provided Greg with wonderful spiritual and pastoral care throughout his time at the Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home and more so in John’s last days.

John was what was called in those years ‘a late vocation’. He entered the novitiate at age 24.

He made his first profession on February 26th 1960. He was ordained on July 16th 1966 after studies in Canberra and Croydon.

He has spent most of his ministry of over fifty years in parishes, especially in Randwick and in Kensington. He also spent some time in Darwin.  In recent years, he has been resident at the Sacred Heart Monastery, Kensington and then moved to the Little Sisters of the Poor in Randwick.
