THEY SERVE THE LORD
The early Carrucan families wore the badge of Irish Catholicism
proudly and their lives were intwined with the local Eltham Catholic
community.
It is not surprising that an ongoing stream of generous souls have
risen
from their ranks to dedicate themselves to the Church as priests, nuns
or brothers.
We proudly celebrate these pioneers who helped build the Catholic
Church in Australia and we are proud that, even today, the Carrucan
family has a number of members active as clergy and/or
in religious orders.

This page has been setup to gather short biographies of the many
Carrucan family members who have served and continue to serve the Lord
in this way.
Note other family members spent part of their lives in either the
priesthood or religious life but chose to leave for various personal
reasons. We also acknowledge their contribution to the life of the
Church and to the lives of their community.
