Bellway was succeeded, in 1977, by Robert Greene. A former tank gunner of the Italian Campaign, whose great heroes were the Ritualist slum priests of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, Greene carried on the work of inner-city co-operation between church and community that Father Bellway had begun. As social problems became more acute through the 1970s and 1980s, several new initiatives were undertaken. A food bank was run out of the basement of the rectory (as it was now being called); two breakfast soup kitchens were set up with the collaboration of a local police sergeant and a staff of volunteers from the parish and St James Cathedral. An indefatigable visitor, Greene continuously visited his way through the parish list and around Regent Park; he also undertook a visitation ministry to the Don Jail.
