Len Attard's Private Chapel
 

Len Attard is a barrister who recently retired as Counsel to the Director of Public Prosecutions, NSW.
He was formerly a Passionist Student (1961 - 1963), spending  two years with the Passionists at the St Ives Monastery, Sydney and one year at Mary's Mount, Goulburn, NSW. Returning to Mary' Mount several years after the Passionists had left Goulburn, he found the buildings including the Chapel in a state of disrepair. He duly arranged to purchase the altar and he and his wife Wendy acquired other items including pews and choir stalls from the Sisters of Mercy, Potts Point. They have now erected a new Chapel in their garden (see photograph below) to house the altar which they have painstakingly restored to its former glory.
