In 1959 he accepted a call to Learmonth in the Ballarat Presbytery, and was inducted into that charge on April 23rd, of that year, ministering there until his death on December 3rd, 1961.
The Rev. Albert Connon was a sincere and lovable man, much esteemed in his parish, where he was a conscientious minister and an able leader, while he was also a faithful Presbyter, highly respected by his colleagues.
The Assembly gives thanks to God for his work and witness so faithfully performed, and extends to his widow and daughter their sincere sympathy in their loss, commending them to the God of all Grace.
