Tuesday, 22 April 2025

As we watched the breaking news reports about the passing of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, two Riverview old boys appeared in the TV coverage on multiple channels. Fr David Braithwaite SJ (OR1990), the parish priest at St Canice's in Darlinghurst was impressive in his responses when he was interviewed on the ABC and Channel 9.

Hopefully Fr David's call out for any 'billionaires' looking to help in feeding 150 homeless people each day has had a good response. To learn more about St Canice's Kitchen, and how you can volunteer or make a donation (non-billionaires welcome), please visit https://stcanicekitchen.org.au/ Fr David wasn't the only old boy who appeared in the news to discuss the passing of Pope Francis. Long term Channel 9 reporter, Damian Ryan (OR1979) was also interviewed as a panelist on Easter Monday during the breaking news of the Pontif's passing on Easter Monday. C

ongratulations Fr David and Damian.
