A Bibliography
Material on the Patricians

There are very few books that you will find specifically on the Patrician Brothers in Australia, but there are some.( '*' indicates books that may be found in some libraries.)

Listed here are those books plus a few other unpublished documents, articles, and newsletters. Also included are published books which do have some material on the Brothers.

Of course College magazines (Year Books) can be of great assistance. Granville, Fairfield, Liverpool, Blacktown, Ryde, have quite a large library of these. Nuku and Aitape in PNG also have school magazines.

For more information or access to these documents and others (newsletters, chapter documents, etc)  please contact the provincial archivist care of Holy Cross College, Ryde, Australia. Phone: 9808.1332 or 9808.1033.

If you are aware of any other resources or needed corrections to those listed please contact the webmaster.
