Passing of Fr Jim O’Brien

It is with great sorrow and regret we advise the death of Fr James (Jim) O’Brien, former Parish Priest of Marsden, QLD.

Fr Jim (or Big Jim back then) was one of the founding members of the Qld Gaelic Football Club in 1973/74.  He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
