Biographical Notes

Armidale. Rev. Father J. Moran To Return To Ireland, Catholic Weekly, Sydney, 18 April 1946, p 20, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article146619338:

The Rev. Father J.G. Moran, who is returning to Ireland as soon as shipping accommodation becomes available, was accorded a farewell at St. Joseph's School Hall, West Tamworth, by members of Tamworth Catholic community, which he has served for the past two years as assistant priest. Despite unfavorable weather the hall was packed. Father Moran was presented with a wallet of notes. Among visiting priests who attended were the Rev. Dr. P.J. Dunne, the Rev. Fathers S. O'Brien, R. Watson and J. Conroy; also the Rev. Brothers L.R. Bloom and Ryan. The Mayor (Alderman J. W. Collins) and Mrs. Collins attended. Musical numbers, compered by Mrs. W.A. Grayston, who assisted Mrs. Mary Jones in the arrangement of the programme, were presented. Speeches were made by the Mayor, the Rev. Dr. Dunne, the Rev. Father Carroll, Messrs. E. Flood, S. Brown, A. Etheridge, J. Boland, H. Benning, D. Betts. Replying, Father Moran said he had been in Armidale Diocese for over seven years, having been stationed at Tamworth, Inverell, Gunnedah and West Tamworth. He had felt sorry for himself when he arrived at Tamworth in the summer of 1938-39, the year of the record heat wave, but he had enjoyed his subsequent stay.
