About me / Bio:
Bob Maguire was an Australian Catholic priest who was known for his social justice advocacy and care for the disadvantaged members of society. He was the parish priest of Sts. Peter and Paul's Church in South Melbourne from 1973 to 2012. He was also a media personality who co-hosted a radio show with John Safran on Triple J and appeared on various television programs. He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 1989 for his services to homeless people through the Open Family Foundation. He also served as an army chaplain during the Vietnam War and was awarded the Reserve Force Decoration. He was involved in several controversies with the church hierarchy over his outspoken views and his refusal to retire. He remained active in community work in his retirement, as the chairman of The Fr Bob Maguire Foundation. He died at the age of 88 at Cabrini Hospital in Melbourne. His death was widely mourned by his fans, colleagues, friends, and family. He received numerous posthumous awards and honors for his service to the community, including an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) and a state memorial service at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). He is regarded as one of the most influential and beloved priests in Australian history.
