Farewell Bishop Boyle

Emeritus Bishop Len Boyle was farewelled yesterday at St Joseph's Cathedral in Dunedin.  He was an Old Boy of St Kevin's (along with his 6 brothers).  They were all members of the College 1st XV and indeed, Bishop Boyle played in the first interschool against St Bede's in the 1940's.  He was first ordained in Winton in 1961, in 1983 he was ordained a bishop and two years later installed as the Bishop of Dunedin.

Mr Olsen, Mr Mullally and a number of our student leaders represented the College community at his Requiem Mass which was officiated by Bishop Colin Campbell.  The packed Cathedral included over 30 priests and 2 Cardinals, John Dew and Thomas Williams (himself an Old Boy of the College).  Following the Mass Mr Olsen, Mr Mullally and the students joined them and the rest of the congregation at a gathering in the Glenroy Auditorium at the Town Hall.
