THE fight to save Father Bob Maguire from retirement has stepped up a notch, with the popular priest prompting fans to get online.
The famed priest at the Catholic Parish of Sts Peter and Paul South Melbourne is due to step down from his post next February, when he reaches the church's mandatory retirement age of 75.
Fr Bob's supporters are now relying on the electronic worlds of Twitter and Facebook to plead with Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart to keep the priest on the payroll.
