Grave Matters - by Br Mark Ryan
1 2 3



Bulfin and I were in Wagga  where the Brothers’ graves were refurbished by the St Michael’s School community. Brother Paul O’Keeffe and myself saw the grave of Ambrose Ryan in Armidale recently .

It would seem that a visit to  Albury, where the graves of Malachy Dwyer and Peter Gaynor have been tended by the Christian Brothers, might be in order at some future time. Any takers?  Who knows?  A little stop at Bathurst, Orange and Wagga might be the beginnings an interesting tour.

Details of the Brothers' buried in Maitland, Goulburn, Bathurst, and Orange. Just look at the young ages.

Thanks to the work of Br Mark we now know exactly where all these Brothers bar one are buried and the condition of their gravestones. And again, thank you to all those very kind people who have looked after our Brothers' resting places over all these years.

Breaking News: Louis Found!

Mark visited Goulburn a second time for a well planned search for Br Louis Hyne's grave. But still no success. Our new friend Brian Ohlback, however, continued the search, and by what seems like a miraculous intervention -  "Hey, I'm over here!": I wish I had the space to tell you the story - found the grave.  So, now with all the graves found throughout the State we can all rest in peace.
