Father Peter Carrucan and Father John O’Reilly
Natalie SULEYMAN (St Albans – Minister for Veterans, Minister for Small Business and Employment, Minister for Youth) (10:00): I rise today to honour Father Peter Carrucan, who passed away peacefully on Thursday 27 February 2025 at the age of 93. In 1996 Father Peter founded the Holy Eucharist Loaves and Fishes foodbank to assist those in need. This service continues to grow, feeding the most vulnerable in our community. I also would like to acknowledge the passing of Father John O’Reilly. Father John served as the parish priest for over 50 years at Sacred Heart in St Albans. The legacies of Father John and Father Peter live on, and we are grateful for their contributions to our community. May they rest in peace.
