Excerpt from Mary Coloe's tribute to Fr Frank Moloney.
Last Saturday, November 8th, our dear colleague, teacher, mentor and above all, friend, Frank Moloney passed fully into the eternity life of God. Frank had been seriously ill since December 2024, and while he tried various therapies, in the end, he was ready to surrender into the hands of the God he knew so well. Frank was always a priest of the Salesians of Don Bosco, available for whatever his brothers needed, in schools, as their formator and leader...
..Whether it was in the classroom, or over a glass of wine, Frank carried his great scholarship with ease and humility; able to say, “I don’t know,” to have vigorous discussions, and to be interested in what you were doing. Many who knew and worked with Frank will miss his warm, extravert personality, his ready smile, storytelling and friendship. But we know that Frank is now at peace after a long fulfilling life.
Written in love and gratitude, Mary L Coloe (Prof Emmerita, YTU).
