Terry celebrated his 85th birthday at Kensington on December 4th.

Bowral. Terry has spent a great deal of his lie growing up there, education with the OLSH Sisters at St Thomas Aquinas, at Chevalier as a student, at Chevalier on the staff (for 38 years).

Terry's other lifelong vocation: the weather

He made his profession on February 26th 1963, studied at Canberra Monastery, pastoral work and then joined the first group of students at St Paul’s National Seminary, the group, including Arthur Stidwill MSC, Len Helm MSC, Laurie Bayliss MSC and Ed Travers MSC, August 21st 1971.

Along with the years on the staff at Chevalier, he also spent 7 years at Monivae and short times in Randwick and Henley Beach parishes.

It would be remiss not to mention the weather – Terry’s hobby while still at school, working for the weather bureau, and a lifelong devotion…  Though the photo is not of Terry in action, it is a tribute to his other talent for decades on his bike.
