Father Bob Maguire.

A request from a follower on Twitter, hearing about his 50th anniversary as a clergyman, plus a media beat up over gay marriage prompted me to dig up an old amateur video I shot with the South Melbourne parish priest whilst on holiday in 2007.

I attended Father Bob’s Sunday mass and hoped to be able to say a quick hello afterwards - but alas, he disappeared behind the altar after giving the final blessing.

Walking back to the tram stop I spotted him on a side street outside the church chatting to a couple of locals.

I had only intended to thank him for mass and telling him how much I enjoyed his TV and radio work with John Safran (vs God, Speaking In Tongues and Sunday Night Safran) - but ended up staying around for ages as Father Bob waxed lyrical about charity, community, the quirks of his parish and everything in between.

I can’t remember what compelled me to pull out my camera - but it all worked out for the best.

Some may say he’s controversial. But one thing’s for certain, Father Bob is compassionate and caring. Keep fighting the good fight.

One helluva rockshow.

In this incredibly grainy clip you might be able to make out some boob flashing.

This is heaps better than what’s on TV on Christmas Day! Season’s Greetings, y’all.
