The St Agnes’ Parish priest for for nearly 50 years, Father Donnelly was a highly-respected leader within the community.
His work carried across all denominations and included, education, training, aged care, welfare and sport.
The church is expected to be at maximum capacity, but plans have been made for seating outside where a live broadcast of the Mass will be shown.
The Mass is expected to finish around noon and a private burial will follow.
After Mass, refreshments will be available at the Hay St church grounds for those attending to share their memories of Father Donnelly.
He will be sorely missed.
