At a large and representative meeting, held in St. Benedict's Hall, Sydney, a few days ago, it was decided to erect a memorial to the late Father Timoney. Many suggestions were made as to what form this should take. Some suggested that a monument should be erected over his grave in Ireland, whilst to others a church window or a tablet seemed the fitting thing. But it is now thought that an altar in St. Benedict's Church in the parish where he labored for so many years would be the most graceful memorial.
