Vale - Brian McKittr

Brian McKittrick was a Christian Brother for part of his life, and during that period he spent a year as a staff at St Virgil’s College located at Barrack Street in 1961.

Brian kept in touch with several of his students from those days and it was a delight to have him attend the Melbourne reunion in October last year. The picture below is from the reunion – from left: Br Sean McManus, Graeme Rainbow, Br Bill Wilding, Brian McKittrick  and Br Kevin Atton.
