'Senior Fellow' joins distinguished list
MELBOURNE: 6 June 2010 -- Fr. Francis J Moloney SDB was inducted as a Senior Fellow of the Catholic Theological College (CTC), Melbourne, on Thursday 3 June, during its Annual Mass and Dinner. This honour recognises Fr Moloney's long association with CTC and his contributions. He began teaching Scripture there in 1976 and continued in this role until his appointment as a Professor of Australian Catholic University in 1994.
Since his return from the United States at the end of 2005 Fr Moloney has taught two winter-intensive courses at CTC on the Gospel of John.
As current Provincial of the Australia-Pacific Province of the Salesians, Fr Moloney serves on the Senate, the governing body of Catholic Theological College.
Fr Moloney now joins other Senior Fellows of the College: Fr John Begley SJ (2004), Fr Austin Cooper OMI (2005), Fr Norman Ford SDB (2005), Bro. Rod Doyle (2006), Fr Peter Cross (2006), Fr Peter Kenny (2007) and Fr Ian Waters 2008, thus making him the second Salesian to join this distinguished list.
The Australian-Pacific Province of the Salesians of Don Bosco congratulates Fr Moloney on this significant recognition of his long-standing contribution to the life of Catholic Theological College

On another sadder note, readers who knew Fr Bill Edwards (Bill had studied in the US prior to ordination, then in later years briefly at the UPS), will be sad to know of his death on 3 June in Melbourne. He was a 'senior fellow' of another order, a much respected confrere of the Australia-Pacific Province living out his final years in patient suffering. In recent years Bill had been suffering from dementia, but was wonderfully cared for both by the Salesian communities to which he was variously attached, skilled personnel in two nursing homes who looked after him, and in a special way too by a close friend, a past pupil of his who devoted much of his time to accompanying Bill when he could no longer look after himself.
Apart from the study periods oversees, Fr Edward's entire Salesian life was totally dedicated to youth, and that included many a young Salesian, in Australia, and for a period in the Pacific Islands of Samoa and Fiji. He was variously teacher, principal, novice master, confessor, the ever-present counsellor to many a person, and goodness personified.
