Early Life
Hollingworth was born in Adelaide, South Australia and moved to Melbourne, Victoria in 1940. After attending Lloyd Street and Murrumbeena primary schools he was educated at Scotch College, Melbourne. After completing his secondary school education he began a cadetship with BHP, an Australian mining company. Hollingworth apparently often spent his lunch hours in St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne where the idea of becoming a priest was first suggested to him.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
