Father Jeremy Jim Connelly

Jim Connelly spent many years as a parish priest in his home region of Gippsland in Victoria. Now he invites us into the Vicarage to bring us something of the joys and sorrows of the life of a parish minister. These forty stories sparkle with the humanity and wit of its central figure, which come, one suspects, through his pen, from the writer himself. Father Jeremy is no heroic figure. Rather he is an honest and very believable human being devoted to serving the people in his charge, with sometimes very surprising results.
