'''Bryan Gallagher''' (21 September 1911 − 6 October 1982) was an [Australian](/source/Australians) [Roman Catholic](/source/Roman_Catholic) bishop.

Ordained to the priesthood on 22 December 1934, Gallagher was named bishop of the [Roman Catholic Diocese of Port Pirie](/source/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Port_Pirie), [Australia](/source/Australia) in 1952. He resigned on 11 August 1980.<ref>[http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bgallb.html Bryan Gallagher]</ref>

==Priesthood==
After serving as a priest in [Geraldton](/source/Geraldton), Gallagher became the parish priest of [Three Springs](/source/Three_Springs%2C_Western_Australia), succeeding Fr Michael Lynch. There, he bought land across the road from the existing wooden "Mass-barn" where St Paul's School and a [Dominican](/source/Dominican_Order) [convent](/source/convent) were built. He completed the presbytery around 1944-45 for £1200 and opened it free of debt. 

Gallagher had intended to build St Paul's Church in Three Springs according to the design of the famous architect [Monsignor Hawes](/source/John_Cyril_Hawes). Upon hearing of this, Hawes wrote a letter wherein he praised the planned church as "my prized design" for which he had previously struggled to obtain council approval. However, after Gallagher became the [Bishop of Port Pirie](/source/Diocese_of_Port_Pirie) in 1952, the new church was instead built according to a different design in 1958.<ref>{{cite book |last=Taylor |first=John Joseph |date=2000 |title=Between Devotion and Design: The Architecture of John Cyril Hawes 1876-1956|location=Nedlands, Western Australia |publisher=University of Western Australia Press |page=174-180 |isbn=9781876268169}}</ref>

==Bishopric==
Gallagher participated as a Council Father in all four sessions of the [Second Vatican Council](/source/Second_Vatican_Council).<ref>[http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bgallb.html Bryan Gallagher]</ref>
