Father John Leary, msc, was a veteran and much-loved missionary of the Sacred Heart who spent almost all his priestly life among the aboriginal communities in Australia’s vast Northern Territory. He died on January 10, 2009. He planned to write his memories of Aboriginal ‘roads’ that he walked, but died before they could be written down.
