Broken Rites Australia has researched the career of Catholic priest Brian Joseph Spillane, who was sentenced to jail in Sydney on 19 April 2012.
Brian Spillane, C.M., has spent most of his working life as a Catholic priest in the Vincentian religious order (also called the Congregation of the Mission — hence the intials “C.M.” after his name).
A part of his career was spent as a priest working at St Stanislaus College — a Catholic day and boarding secondary school for boys, located at Bathurst, in the central west of New South Wales.
Father Spillane also ministered in Catholic parishes in Sydney and Queensland and he toured other states in Australia, visiting various parishes.
