A public meeting was held in the School-room attached to St. Benedict's Church yesterday evening, for the purpose of adopting measures to raise the funds necessary to pay the balance due for the house and grounds of Tarmons, Woolloomooloo, which have been purchased as a Residence and Free Hospital for the Sisters of Charity. ]...]

Father Kenyon preached. [...]

The Rev. P. Kenyon, Freeman's Journal, Sydney, 20 July 1859, p 7, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article114837421:

Some of the friends and admirers of the Rev. Patrick Kenyon, parishioners of the Sacred Heart and others, sent, in the early part of this year, to England for books to the value of £50, with the view of presenting them to him as a testimonial of their regard and appreciation of his labours in the sacred ministry. These books arrived by the last mail, and were presented to the rev. gentleman last week, at the presbytery of the Sacred Heart Church, by a deputation from the subscribers. Among the books are some which must be of peculiar value to Father Kenyon in his sacred calling, as Gardellini's Collection of Decrees, Ozanam's Works, Works by Father Perrone, &c., &c., the whole forming a most appropriate present from an admiring body of intelligent laymen to a clergyman whose learning and good qualities command their respect.

The District and Bay of Botany, Sydney Morning Herald, 10 August 1864, p 3, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13105620:

The history of the Church of St. Bernard (I prefer to omit the "Mount,") is a little peculiar. The Roman Catholics of Botany having long felt the need of a local church, some of them went earnestly to work to supply this want. Mr. Smith, of the Botany Tannery, Mr. O'Rourke, of the Half-way-House, and the late Mr. Williamson, chairman of the Redfern municipality, and of the Botany Road trust, were prominent in the work, many others assisting. Having obtained the gift of a site they decided to make the erection of the church the work of the Roman Catholic laity, and to hand it over to the ecclesiastical authorities when completed. The permission necessary to this course was readily obtained, and on a design furnished by Mr. Munro the subscribers set to work. The whole was completed for about £500—a triumph of economy. But although it had been found comparatively easy to raise the church, the Roman Catholic laity of Botany found it more difficult to secure the attendance of a pastor. Botany was attached to the pastorate of St. Benedict's Church, Sydney, and the clergyman of that church could seldom find time to go to St. Bernard's. Even at Waterloo, where a church, or rather part of a church, had been erected at a cost of over £3000, there was for a long time divine service but once a month. The Rev. Father Corish, now no more, was most zealous and active, but he could not do everything, consequently, while there was public worship every Sunday in each of the other churches and chapels at Botany, that of the Roman Catholics was closed for months at a stretch. The energetic and deservedly popular Father McCarthy succeeded Father Corish, and soon after his induction there was a division of the district. Waterloo, Botany, Newtown, and Cook's River were made a separate pastorate, under the charge of the Rev. Father Kenyon. There is now divine service every Sunday at the church of "Our Lady of Mount Carmel," Waterloo, and at Botany and Cook's River on alternate Sundays.

Testimonial to Father Walsh, The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser, 3 August 1869, p 4, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article18738829:

On Tuesday evening, a meeting was held, in the Steam Packet Hotel, Hunter-street, to take into consideration the propriety of presenting the Rev. Father Walsh, of this city—who is about to proceed to England—with a testimonial. The meeting was presided over by the Rev. Father Kenyon. It was agreed that a money testimonial—accompanied with a suitable address—be forwarded to Father Walsh, in the mother-country, as soon as possible. Upwards of £20 was subscribed in the room, and more than double that amount is yet anticipated.

The Sinister Influence of Catholic Clergymen, Sydney Morning Herald, 7 December 1869, p 7, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13196565:

To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir,—On reading the report of Sir James Martin's election meeting, held at Newcastle a few days ago, and observing that the Rev. Mr. Kenyon, of the Roman Catholic Church of that town, had, from the pulpit of his church, addressed his congregation on political matters and exerted his great influence for the unholy purpose of directing his hearers' minds on worldly matters, and succeeded to such an extent as actually to prevent Sir James Martin from being heard, I deem it my duty to bring under your notice, and that of your readers, the following piece of underhand work, which, I am afraid to say, is not likely to be the only instance of clerical corruption.

Death of the Rev. P. Kenyon, Advocate, Melbourne, 26 November 1870, p 11, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article170152022:

We are sorry to learn by a private letter of the death at sea of the Rev. Patrick Kenyon, formerly of Limerick, and lately of Newcastle, New South Wales. The rev. gentleman left for Ireland in the City of Melbourne some months since. The Commissioner of Sandwich Islands communicated with a relative of Father Kenyon's, in Ireland, stating that the reverend gentleman died on the 15th of July last, during the voyage home. Father Patrick Kenyon was brother to the late Rev. John Kenyon, P.P., of Templederry, county Tipperary, the well-known Irish nationalist. He was an old colonist of New South Wales, where the announcement of his death will be read with general regret.
