Phenomenal story is finally told

AFTER decades of diligent research and writing, 90-year-old De La Salle Brother Fidelis Day was finally able to relax at the launch of his historical book – Peninsula Phenomenon: The Metamorphosis to Southern Cross – on July 28.

The author and former college teacher detailed in his book 50 years of Catholic education on the Redcliffe Peninsula.

It recorded significant events like the amalgamation of the six colleges, which formed Scarborough’s Southern Cross Catholic College in 1995.

SCCC’s Timothy Peter Centre housed the launch, where memorabilia – old school uniforms and photos – were displayed for guests to reminisce.

Launch co-ordinator Emma Green said hundreds of copies were sold on the night, and despite signing them for an hour and a half, Br Fidelis looked “extremely happy”.

Ms Green also thought it was a huge accomplishment for Br Fidelis.

“I believe people will recognise the resource as a significant contribution towards the community and Catholic Education,” she said.

“It’s a celebration of life, of which many generations will be able to enjoy.”

Past De La Salle College student Denis Hooper contributed to Peninsula Phenomenon his personal account of the college.

Mr Hooper was in Sydney and could not attend the launch, but said he was keen to receive his copy of the book.

“I’ve had an ongoing connection with the school since I left so I was really happy to contribute some of my experiences,” he said.

“I think the book will be great.”
