The Columban Community bid farewell to two Columban priests over the weekend.
Fr. Kieran John Moloney and Fr. Pat O'Beirne have both returned home today. Fr. Pat O'Beirne came to Fiji last year to direct the Columban Spiritual Year program for 2019-2020.

Fr. Kieran came to Fiji in 1968 with two other Columban priests. He served in Lautoka, Bemana, Raiwaqa, Ba, Lau and Navunibitu.

Fr. Kieran Moloney was also Chancellor of the Archdiocese and Parish Priest of Lau.
He taught at Corpus Christi Teachers College and taught Systematic Theology at the Pacific Regional Seminary. He was also involved with the Columban Lay Mission Program in Fiji.

Fr. Kieran said, as he bid farewell “I enjoyed my mission in Fiji and I am very thankful to God for bringing me to Fiji. I also thank the people for their love and support.”

We wish them both a safe journey home.
