Long-serving priest, 93, in final throes of health decline b

A Song to be Sung editor Gabrielle Rothwell said it was touch-and-go on whether Bugler would live to see his memoir published.
The book documents Bugler’s life from a quiet boy living in poverty in rural Ireland, to becoming a well-loved and widely-followed Catholic priest in New Zealand.
It discusses how his first love decided to become a nun, resulting in Bugler joining a congregation, but left because it was too strict.
He was later ordained a priest and moved to New Zealand in 1958, where he “loved it straight away” and developed a following, Rothwell said.
