| HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS to Fr Liam
Murphy Sallowglen, Tarbert on the celebration of the golden jubilee
of his ordination to the priesthood on July 6th. He is one of eleven
children, three brothers and seven sisters and is son of the late
Paddy and Mary Murphy, Sallowglen. Fr Murphy celebrated the occasion with his community at Rockwell College goes back to 1940 where he began his secondary studies there. Then at the age of 18 years he decided to join the congregation. He was ordained in 1953. One year later on the completion of his studies he went to West Africa - Nigeria and worked there as a missionary till the Biafran War caused him to return to Ireland. He then took two periods of further studies and in between times he taught in Rockwell College. On retiring from teaching Fr Murphy concentrated on retreats and helping out in parishes. At the present time he works in the Cathedral in Limerick. The occasion of Fr Murphys jubilee was also a reunion for the Murphy family as members of the family were together for the celebrations. Members attending were his sisters Sr Marie Jude Roscrea. Sr Eileen Florida, Mrs Phil Walsh Sallowglen, Mrs Jane Ryan, Lislaughtin, Ballylongford, Mrs Liz Blundell, Cheshire. Mrs Bridget McIvor, Manchester brothers Jimmy Florida and Nicholas New York and another brother Fr Michael Murphy, Liverpool was unable to attend. In the words of Liam Murphy he says “ Today gods influence on human lives seems to be denied or ignored. The witness of celebrating many years of commitment to high ideals such as christians to the vows of their baptism, to christian marriage to the vows of reiligion or to the priesthood is needed, To his albiding presence and salvation we attribute our genorosity. In the second place we pay tribute to the family. Its tradition of prayer, the primacy of god and social involvement leading to a closely knit unit is the source of many graces leading to perseverance and fidelity”.On behalf of the community the writer would like to wish. Fr Liam many more years of happy and fruitful ministry. |
