On
August 15, Father Matthew Moloney celebrated the Assumption Mass
on the Ross Oval at Nudgee. He was welcomed back to his old school
by students, staff, parents and old boys.
Matthew’s
story began in Longreach in 1968. He is the fifth child of six to Bill
and Jenny. Their home was the family sheep property, ‘Yarraman’ outside
Longreach. He attended Our Lady’s Convent in Longreach before
going to Nudgee Junior and then to Nudgee. He graduated from there
in 1985.
His
post-Nudgee experience included mustering and station-hand work, merchandise
management as well as work on the oil fields and some overseas travel.
In 1999 he joined the seminary and since his ordination by Bishop Brian
Heenan in November 2004, he has ministered at the Rockhampton South
Parish.
All
Nudgee Old Boys and members of the Nudgee family wish him well in
his vocation and express the hope that we will see him at Nudgee
many times in the future.
