The Horsham Times, 1 October 1889, p 2, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article72878726:
The Horsham Roman Catholic mission is about to lose the ministrations of the Rev. Father John Hogan, who for the past two years has so devotedly and energetically fulfilled his sacred duties among his flock. [...] The charge of the Horsham mission was taken over at the end of last week by the Rev. Father Joseph O'Brien, who for the past six years has been in sole charge at Clunes, and before that at Creswick. Father Barrett remains at Horsham as assistant priest.
