Author Information

Catholic Priest Fr Bob Maguire has a long history working with the poorest and most marginalised in Melbourne's community. He is a pioneer in the social sector. Fr Bob's early life instilled in him a sense of care and concern for the forgotten members of community, the 'unlovely and the unloved'. Bob led the Character Training Unit for young officers in the Australian Army before beginning his well known 39 year stint as parish priest of St Peter and Paul Church in South Melbourne. This is where his outreach work took hold and really grew. He threw himself into the service of the homeless and those down on their luck. He worked with anyone - criminal, addicted, young and old could rely on him. His latest venture, The Fr Bob Maguire Foundation was launched in 2003. Now in his mid 80s, he is currently actively engaged in the Fr Bob Maguire Foundation - an organisation that served more than 40,000 hot meals and around 10,000 hampers this year and growing, along with Outreach and Counselling to over 5000 clients to date. While also driving his Education fund to support our local youth with scholarships for secondary education, one of his dreams is to help beyond and see that our young thrive.
