District Handover
In a simple ceremony in the chapel of Montbel, Hunters Hill, on Jan 31 the role of District Superior of Australian Marist Fathers was handed over from Fr Tony Corcoran to Fr Tony Kennedy. Most Sydney-based confreres were present, including the international team from Marayong in Parramatta diocese, and were invited to share in offering the blessing to their new District Superior.
The handover ceremony was followed by refreshments and dinner at Montbel.
Thank you for your service, Fr Tony C and welcome to the job, Fr Tony K ! [Feb 01]

He is pictured below with family members and Brisbane-based Marists during the celebration at Herston.
Congratulations, Br Charlie ! [Feb 02]
