Words From Gerard

 

St Patrick’s College first met Gerard in 2016 when he was appointed to the position of Deputy Headmaster – Student and Staff Wellbeing after many years of senior leadership in a variety of positions in the Sandhurst Diocese.

The St Patrick’s community came to know Gerard as a man of great faith who valued the relationships he had with so many of us above all else. Gerard will be greatly missed by many in our community, staff, students and parents alike, who came to know him as a man of integrity and honour.

Vale Gerard, as you pass into the hands of our loving God.

Gerard’s funeral will take place on May 8 from 10:00am at St Patrick’s Cathedral and he will be buried at the new Ballarat cemetery in the Birdsong section.
