Father Norris was a great priest and a great man in general, he baptised all my sisters and brother and as of 3years ago my little niece, I was very saddened to hear he had passed away way after the fact. I would have honoured him at the funeral. May you sit with God now father Norris. RIP

Fr Tim will be a permanent part of the journey of faith for many, including the late Mr Brian Smith, President of the Pontifical Family association who came from St Kevins parish and who led the Emmanuel covenant community, and the many who read articles by Fr Tim in the Courier Mail, that touched the personal witness of many Brisbanites. His masses were known for their deep reverence for Eucharist, that stood centrally in the church and the lives of his parishioners. It was a parish that showed visitors what to seek in their own parishes. Fr Tim will be missed not only by the local folk of Geebung but the wider church for a witness that showed the very best of Ireland.

We will always remember you Father Norris. We have made many friends through St Kevin's. For this, we Thank You with all our hearts. May you Rest in Peace.

VALE TIMOTHY NORRIS
May the road rise up to meet you, may the sun be always at your back and may your "fekin" back finally stop giving you grief.
You always welcomed home the
roaming catholics and you could always pull the right crowd when it mattered (James,John and George to name a few )

You built a community in the Catholic tradition from a deserted pineapple farm and left behind a legacy to the power of Faith.

PS
Dont give the new boss too hard a time.
