Priest dies as police swoop

The Brisbane Courier Mail (15 October 1998) has exposed the sexual abuse of orphan girls which occurred in the 1950s and '60s at Nazareth House, a Catholic home for the aged, in Wynnum North, Brisbane, conducted by the Sisters of Nazareth. The nuns kept teenage girls at the home as unpaid workers.
One of the sex offenders was Father John O'Regan, a priest of the "Oblates of Mary Immaculate" order, who was based at Iona College, Lindum. He and other priests gave "counselling" to girls at Nazareth House.
