The Peppercorn Tree

By John T Fitzgibbon

For fifty years, John Fitzgibbon didn't tell anyone about the abuse he had suffered at the hands of notorious priest and paedophile, Father John Day, in Mildura. Over a two-year period during primary school, John was one of Day's favourites, pulled out of class to visit Day in the presbytery.

The Catholic Church knew about Day. Victoria Po
