The last of the Mt Lawley Brophys, Patrick John Brophy, was born on 22 February 1926 to John and Helen, was brother to Helen and Frank, and joined them all in eternal life on 10 July 2015.
A long-term resident of the Mt Lawley parish, which the family moved into in 1928, Pat was also one of two St Paul’s acolytes in the first Perth intake in 1974.
He was also active on the parish council, in the choir, as editor of the parish newsletter for 25 years and as parish caretaker, together with his brother.
The parish history states of the brothers that “they are good and faithful servants of their God, through their service to the priests and people of the Mt Lawley parish”.
