Sad News 

Yesterday we received the sad news that the first lay principal of St Francis Xavier, Mr Gerry McInerney passed away at the age of 93.

Gerry was a tower of Catholic education and made a lasting contribution to St Francis Xavier and many other schools.  He was instrumental in the formation of our Italian language program and employed Mrs Campagna and Ms Hughes as Teacher Librarian. 

His passion for sport was well known in the community and the annual Parent Teacher Student trophy is named in his honour. Gerry was a man of deep faith and truly lived our Gospel values. Gerry leaves behind his family and his wife Mrs Mary McInerney who was a teacher at St Francis Xavier. 

Please keep the family in your prayers at this time.
