St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church Toongabbie 
It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of Bill Moore.
Bill was our Parish Priest here at St Anthonys from 1988 to 2006 before he left Priesthood to embark on a new life. He died on Thursday 22nd June at Nepean Hospital surrounded by his family. Let’s remember Bill and his family in our prayers.
Bill's funeral took place on 4th July at 11.00am at the Uniting Church in Penrith.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, let perpetual light shine upon him and may his soul rest in your peace
We are very excited and pleased to advise that a very special member of our Faith Community, St Anthony of Padua Toongabbie, has been recognised and honoured in the 2022 Australia Day awards.
