Our Parish Priest
REV DR GREG MORGAN
Fr. Gregory Morgan was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney on 21 May 2011 at the age of 24, making him the youngest priest in Australia at the time.
Following his ordination, he was appointed Assistant Priest at All Saints Parish, Liverpool, while also serving as a part-time hospital chaplain. During this time, he completed a Licentiate/Master’s degree (STL) in Ethics, specialising in bioethics and the anatomy of the moral act. He also had a brief but memorable tenure as the Administrator of Broken Hill Cathedral.
In 2014, Fr. Greg was sent to the United Kingdom for further studies. The following year, he completed a Master of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, specializing in the Philosophy of Religion. He then pursued a Doctorate in Philosophy at the University of Oxford, focusing on philosophical/theological jurisprudence and theories of natural law. His first book, Natural Law & the Secular Mythos, was published by Bloomsbury Academic Press. He is currently working on a second book, The Heart of Identity, which explores the philosophical, historical, and political breakdown in language and anthropology, seeking to offer a pathway forward based upon an alternate cultural manifesto.
Fr. Greg is currently an Adjunct Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame Australia (UNDA) and a sessional lecturer in Philosophy and Ethics at the Catholic Institute of Sydney.
Since 2020, he has served as Chaplain to the Catholic Women’s League in the Archdiocese of Sydney, and since 2021, he has also been the State Chaplain for the Catholic Women’s League of NSW.
On 13 August 2021, Fr. Greg was appointed as the fifth Parish Priest of St. Catherine Labouré Catholic Church, Gymea. Above all, he loves being a Parish Priest and strives to ensure that every person—no matter where they are in their faith journey—feels at home at St. Catherine’s.
Please feel free to contact him at any time if you have any questions or are simply interested in getting more involved in the parish.
