He was attached to 55 Anti-Aircraft Regiment, A.I.F. After the war he resumed study at the University of Western Australia, a n d graduated in Engineering in 1948.

war. He came to Australia with his family and joined the Society of Jesus. His work in helping to reestablish the Legion of Mary in Alexandria after the war led to his first contact with the Jesuit Fathers. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1950.
Later in the year two more Australian Jesuits will be ordained overseas. They are the Rev. Kenneth McNamara who is attached to the Australian Jesuit Mission in India, and the Rev. Gerald Daily who is studying at the Jesuit theologate of Innsbruck in Austria. Each of these six Jesuits began their training at Loyola College, Watsonia, Melbourne. The widespread places of their ordination indicate the international character of the Society of Jesus.

Pope Composes Special Prayer For Those In Mission Areas O Jesus, living Son of God, who became man
to reveal the mystery of the Heavenly Father's love and. with the precious sacrifice of Yourself, performed His will of mercy and of salvation for all peoples, we adore You and praise You for having enlightened and redeemed us. 0 Jesus, who sent Your Apostles to reap harvests of souls in the fields of the whole world and promised to draw all to Your crucified Self, we thank You for having sent us these people who have taught us Your truth and communicated Your grace to us. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Your mother and our heavenly mother, Queen of Angels and of Saints, we pray to You that we may be worthy sons of Your Church, faithful to Your teaching and to Your commandments, under the guidance and protection of Your vicar on earth, the father of our souls. Grant that We may be docile to our bishops and priests, for whom we invoke the graces of sanctification and of the apostolate;, that He may be, according to Your will, the salt and light of our land and our people. We beg of You the grace to grow in faith, in hope and in charity, so that we may make everyone know the joy and peace that the Holy Ghost has spread in our hearts, and prepare ourselves for the happiness and glory without end in the paradise that You have opened to all sons of men. Amen.
(The prayer carries a partial indulgence of three years every time it is recited with contrite heart; a plenary indulgence, subject to the usual conditions, once a month when recited piously every day for a month).
