[...] From late 1861 the Castlemaine registers show that Rev. James Galvin Williams (the assistant at St. Mary's), regularly visited Creswick and Clunes, and in June, 1862, he would appear to have taken up residence at Creswick as pastor. He was only there a few months and was given the charge of Portland. A Kerryman, just 30 years of age, he had spent a few years on the Indian mission before poor health brought him to Melbourne early in 1861. Then followed at intervals of about two years, three pastors—Revs. John Power, Jeremiah Skehan and Thomas O'Donnell. Father Power left Creswick to return to Europe, and Father Skehan served subsequently at Geelong and Warrnambool. [...]
