MARIST BROTHERS  HIGHSCHOOL DARLINGHURST

Br Paul of the Cross presumably some years after he was Provincial.

When it became public that the Brothers were being dismissed from St Mary’s some individual unknown to the Broth­ers and acting on his own responsibility wrote to the Daily Telegraph complaining of the treatment dealt out to the Brothers by the cathedral authorities. There is internal evidence of this in the account of the interview between Mon­signor O’Haran and a Daily Telegraph reporter. Without publishing this letter a Daily Telegraph reporter interviewed Monsignor O’Haran, in regards to the Brothers’ dismissal and Monsignor charged the Brothers with commercialism in connection with it.

An account of the interview was published in the columns of the next issue of the Daily Telegraph, and on the afternoon of that day Br Victor was rung up from the office of the Daily Telegraph and asked whether he desired to make a state­ment in connection with the matter. After consultation of the principal Brothers of the house he informed the Daily Telegraph authorities that he would make no statements. Being informed that there were several letters in the Broth­ers’ favour lying at the office awaiting publication Br Victor expressed his disapproval of their publication. The same day Br Victor assembled the Brothers of the house, by far the larg­est we have in the Commonwealth and directed them to preserve silence under the accusation and not to com­municate the matter to any extern for the purpose of publication.
