The message that all these words and stories carried was that Joseph
was a man many people cared a great deal about. This was also evident
in the demeanour of the students during the ceremony showing great
attention and respect. There was also a group of ex-students who
attended: an obvious sign of the affection students had for him as he
strove to minister to their personal and spiritual needs. Mr Alan
McManus in his concluding words spoke of the relationship which exists
between Magdalene Catholic High School and the Patrician Brothers, a
relationship which will now be evident for as long as the school
stands through the dedication of the oval to Br Joseph Crowley. A
relationship and heritage which the school is truly grateful for and
proud of.
Within an hour of the blessing and dedication of the oval the oval was
"christened", as Mr McManus put it, by the playing of a staff vs
student touch-football match. And then yet another and perhaps more
serious rugby league game later in the day.
