Excerpt from Life and Letters of Archpriest John Joseph Therry: Founder of the Catholic Church in Australia St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, 1st June, 1921. The Rev. E. M. O'Brien, St. Patrick's College, Manly. Dear Rev. Father, We give a warm welcome to your contribution to our Church History - the "Life and Letters of Archpriest Therry." It is a praiseworthy undertaking to search past records and to set forth events of public interest, for the instruction of present and future generations. Such is your undertaking in seeking, collating and arranging all extant information regarding the worthy apostle whom God gave us as a pioneer and champion of His Church in Australia. It has been well said "There is no true civilization without religion, no true religion but Christianity, no true Christianity without Catholicity, no true Catholicity without unity of doctrine and of discipline, no unity of doctrine and discipline without divine authority, and there is no divine authority on earth but that of the Successor of St. Peter." The founder of this true religion in Australia was Father John Joseph Therry, of whose missionary career you give us an authentic account. It is most welcome, and particularly opportune at this period - the centenary of Father Therry's arrival in Australia. May God bless the writer and the readers. The majority of the Catholics who were in New Holland when Father Therry came to the colony had been transported from Ireland as convicts, after the rebellion of 1798.
