This is to inform you that Bishop Desmond Moore MSC died very peacefully at 4.30pm this afternoon.

He has been struggling these last few days but was kept comfortable and lovingly cared for by the wonderful staff at St. Joseph’s Nursing Home, Kensington.

From the past - with Cardinal Ribat

He has had many visitors these past few days including his niece, many MSC and Chris McPhee this morning.

We will hear stories of his wonderful missionary work in Papua New Guinea as we share memories of him in the days ahead.

From the past, OLSH 2017

 Des was from Adelaide, born in 1926, ordained in 1957, Socius to Fr Butler in 1958, missionary in Eastern Papua, episcopal ordination in 1970. Next month he would have celebrated his Golden Jubilee of being a bishop.

May Des now rest in peace and share in the Glory of Christ’s Resurrection.
