Ken's Personal Website

Welcome!

Here you'll learn all about me: my life, my interests and hobbies, the people in my family, and more. I've even included a list of my favorite links to other sites.

In surfing the web, I've realised that lots of people have their own personal websites, so I thought, why shouldn't I have one, too.

I am a 76 year old Catholic priest, living in Melbourne, which is the capital city of the state of Victoria, in Australia. I am living in [sort of] retirement, since a stroke I had about seven years ago. "Sort of" retirement means that I no longer carry out any "public" ministry in the church, although I do a lot of indirect ministry in my daily interaction with people generally. Despite the stroke, I am still reasonably mobile, thank God.

When I was born [at home], in 1927, my parents were living with my maternal grandparents in Footscray, a working class suburb of Melbourne, on account of the early stages of what we called The Great Depression. These grandparents were of Cornish and English extraction, whilst my paternal grandparents were of Scots and English extraction. In those years I can recall the UK still being referred to as "home".
