Deeply saddened by the unexpected death of Fr Peter. Dying as he did on the even of the Feast of St John Vianney, the patron of pastors, Fr Peter was a priest who exemplified the spirituality and life pattern of of St John Vianney. He was totally committed to his priesthood, and served the people of God in the parishes in which he ministered with zeal, dedication and availability. May the Lord reward him abundantly for his faithful priestly service. ( Fr P.Faherty Nowra)
We sincerely miss Fr Peter and would like to express our gratitude for the wonderful work he did for our community at Holy Family Parish Ingleburn. We especially would express our appreciation for his friendship, his love and care for our family over many years.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all those close to him at this difficult time.
Our condolences to Father Peter’s family and friends.He was a wonderful person and priest.Me and my family new him for years as many did.And my son’s new him from when they went to school at Ingleburn.Rest in peace Father Peter.
I would like to acknowledge and pay tribute to Father Peter on behalf of all the catechists of Holy Family parish, past and present, for the contribution Father Peter, himself, made as a ‘catechist’ in the schools, and his many efforts for the young people of the parish.
For many years , despite having a busy parish and significant involvement with the Holy Family School, Father Peter would teach several lessons every week in our local state schools, both primary and high school. The name “ Father Peter” was widely known among the students and the administrators of the schools.

Father Peter,
The following scripture will always remind me of YOU .
” To Live is Christ to die is gain ” Philippians 1:21 you sure lived it.
” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race I have kept the faith.
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8
His master said to him,
” Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.’ Mathew 25:23
I was hungry and you gave me something to eat , I was thirsty and you gave me to drink , I was stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
(my mum in nursing home ).

Our deepest condolences to the Caruana family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Father Peter was such a caring man who strengthened our faith in God and supported our family spiritually over the years.
He will be dearly missed. May he Rest in Peace.
My family and I have known Fr. Peter since we moved to Ingleburn in October 1990.
We’ll always remember Fr. Peter for leading us every Tuesday night after the 7.30pm Mass in the Adoration of The Blessed Sacrament and the Recitation of the Holy Rosary, and especially The Cenacle of Fr. Stefano Gobbi every 1st Tuesday of the month till close to 9pm.
We’ll also remember Fr. Peter celebrating every 1st Friday of the month the 7.30pm Mass in honour of The Sacred Heart of Jesus followed by overnight Adoration of The Blessed Sacrament until the next day at 7.30am, with Fr. Peter then celebrating Mass at 8.00am in honour of The Immacultae Heart of Mary.
I have personally been very honoured to serve Fr. Peter, such a Holy Priest, as an Acolyte at Holy Family Catholic Church, Ingleburn, since I was instituted by Bishop Peter Ingham in November 2012 at St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church in Campbelltown.
We’ll coninue praying for you Fr. Peter as we know you’ll also intercede for your parishioners and your family in Heaven. May you Rest in Peace our dear Fr. Peter.
Amen.
Bocarro Family
Fr Peter will always be remembered by us. Our children were all confirmed in Ingleburn church and Fr Peter helped them through this journey. His hand shake while walking down after mass was a humble thought and almost all of us smiled.
we continue to pray for him and also our condolences to his family.
Also on behalf of the Indian community – our sincere prayers and gratitude
RIP Father Peter.
We have shared many Sacrament experiences with my personal family and my work family at Pembroke lodge aged care facility over many years.

We would like to thank you for your service to the community. Your positive impact will be felt for years to come. We would like to offer our condolences to the Caruana family. ❤️ ✝️
It is really sad that we have been told this news about the preist we grew up with and knew very well, Fr. Peter. I miss him and I am now living knowing that I never got to say goodbye to him. He can now see his other relatives in heaven. His body is dead but his soul isn’t. I just wish a good eternal life in heaven as I wish I could say to him to have a good life on earth when he retired, then left the Earth. I wish him and his family a good life and to make the most out of your last years of your life in peace.
May God and the caring love and thoughts from others help you to get through your sorrow. May you find rest and comfort in the love and hope of God, and others that surround you. Our prayer is that you feel God’s love and comfort as you mourn the loss of your loved one. Praying for you during this time of loss and we are praying for Father Pater’s soul.
Our thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences to the family. May father Rest In Peace
Thank you to all of the Carruana family for sharing Peter with us and for raising such a Christ loving God loving man forgive me in my selfishness as I say I wish he was still here. Fr Peter dedicated his life selflessly to making restoration for others of his priestly family and he did it in spades striving to replace all that had been lost to HOLY Trinity Minto the church he finally saw built on Holy Family School grounds was a testimony of his love of God his determination to strive for total restoration for his parishoners without wanting or expecting accolades give credit to his family and his faith in Christ to the Glory of God . Thank you for Baptising my family for the laughter for the horse paddock for the prayers above all for the humility I for one could never aspire to reach thank you for your love for your forgiveness and your example. Thank you to you his family for sharing him with us. Celebrate Fr Peter !
To the Caruana Family, Our heart felt sympathy goes out to you at this sad time. Fr Peter was a wonderful caring person and he will be deeply missed. God Bless. Christiane Pink & Family

Dear Father, our family has many wonderful memories of Holy Family Church and your time as the Parish Priest. We were so blessed to have the church adjacent to our school.
I remember fondly, you standing out the front every afternoon saying goodbye to all the children and their families. The kids would wave and sing out or run up to you for a blessing.

Mora Family – Ingleburn
Dear Caruana family,
The world has lost an incredible life. You have our sincere condolences, our deepest sympathies, and our love.
Our family had known Fr Father for
31 years as our parish priest, a great friend and my confidant. He has always been a kind, soft spoken and giving even with our contacts and dealings with him as a choir member for many years. I often visit him at the presbytery for a talk and always give advice and blessed me before I leave. It is with my heavy heart and deep sadness that I/We won’t be able to see him again. We will miss you dearly Fr. Peter. Thank you for everything. Rest in eternal peace.
Memories of Fathers time saying Mass at Windang ,his joy of welcoming our young children, & his unannounced visits to our home always just in time to share our evening meal these memories will never fade. Then in later years seeing his involvement with the children including my granddaughters at Holy Family. His memory will live on in many hearts.
God bless you Fr Peter. Remember your holy family ingleburn community. Intercede for us all.you were truly a servant of Jesus on earth. All the angels and saints will be welcoming you to paradise. We will always remember you. Peace and love from Robert and Anna. ❤
Our prayers and sincere condolences to Father Peter’s family. Such a beautiful and fitting farewell for Fr Peter this morning, it was a privilege to be able to witness this Memorial Mass. We have very fond memories of Fr Peter as our Parish priest in Ingleburn, and as mentioned by his brother Dennis this morning in his words of remembrance, Fr Peter loved socialising with his parishioners, which we enjoyed on several occasions when we invited him for a meal at our house or with other friends. One particular time we remember was at a friend’s house, where we decided to have some fun and play games which Fr Peter willingly joined in. On this particular evening we played charades and Fr Peter acted out a Bugs Bunny character called Elmer Fudd. We laughed so much. He must have watched this show either in his younger days with his brothers and sisters or nieces and nephews. We also had lots of spiritual guidance from him over the years, including his blessing on us when we renewed our wedding vows on our 25th wedding anniversary, when he also helped us organize a Papal Blessing for this occasion. He will always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace Fr Peter, you have earned it.
My family is grieving the loss of a significant person in our lives. Fr. Peter, who my granddaughter Brix calls Jesus, was not just our Parish priest but a great Friend and Adviser of ours. From 2000-2004, he came to our home to pray with us and give Holy Communion to my sick husband, every Monday afternoon without fail. Fr. Peter celebrated our 25th wedding mass and sadly Ben’s burial mass. Fr. Peter was always present in every special occasion that my family had like christening, weddings, death anniversary, and family dinner. How can we ever forget him? NEVER in a million years. His name will be indelibly written in our hearts. We pray that God reserves a special seat for him in heaven and there Fr. Peter can rest in eternal peace. No sadness, no tears, no questioning, « What have I done to deserve this? » We love you and we thank you for all you have done for us. Goodbye for now, till we meet again. To his family, we are truly sorry for your loss, we feel your pain and your sadness. God bless you all!
Dear Caruana Family
Sending our deepest condolences, may your hearts be filled with joy and love knowing how many lives Fr Peter touched.
Such a humble, kind soul and truly one of a kind. I surely will never forget our afternoons spent near Fr Peter waiting to be picked up from school. Our family will forever be thankful for your spiritual guidance , rest in eternal peace
All our love, Moreira Family
My fondest and thankful memory of Fr Peter……your family were family friends from way back.
He was only a Priest of 4 months, Fr Peter took my family into see our loving father for what would be the last time. I will always remember the kindness you bestowed on us children to have the last moment with our father. Thank you Peter.
