The Reverend Father Robert John Thomas "Bob" Maguire (born 14 September 1934 in Thornbury, Victoria) is an Australian Roman Catholic priest, community worker and media personality from South Melbourne. Commonly known as Father Bob, Maguire was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 1989 "for service to homeless youth through the Open Family Foundation". In his younger days he used to be a beekeeper, which he describes as "one of the finest periods of my life". A 102minute documentary ''In Bob We Trust'', about his life and retirement was released in October 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.inbobwetrustmovie.com ) (Two-minute trailer available on youtube.)〕 ==Biography== Maguire was born in 1934, and by 1950, both his parents and two of his sisters had died. He attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School in Prahran from 1940 to 1947, and Christian Brothers College, St Kilda from 1948 to 1953, and then studied theology at Corpus Christi College, Melbourne, where he received his training for the priesthood. In 1965 he joined the Army Reserve; during the Vietnam war, as a lieutenant colonel, he was commanding officer of the Character Training Unit for young officers.

Its slogan is "Viva La Bob" and makes many social and pop culture remarks that align it with the fighting spirit of other revolutionaries such as Che Guevara and Martin Luther King, Jr. The Father Bob Maguire Foundation began in 2003 "in an attempt to gather all my social investments together under one Board of Governance".
