Welcome, dear Father, from a place well-known to you Salesians, the Marian Shrine.
I practically grew up there, and knew your confreres, Father John Lomagno, Father Adam Connolly, and Father Peter Lappin, very well.
I have often prayed on the Rosary Way, and imagine that they must have been shocked when JP2 announced the Luminous Mysteries: "Oh, great, now we have to carve out a new path and get five new statues from Turin!"
Fr. Malloy served as a Salesian of Don Bosco. He was the Provincial of the Western and then Eastern Province of the Salesians.
He was president of Don Bosco Technical Institute in San Gabriel, CA. Former pastor of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Surrey, B.C. and then Saints Peter and Paul Church in San Francisco. From its inception until his death he served as the Chaplain of the Walk for Life West Coast. His final earthly posting was at Salesian High School in Richmond, CA, just a stone's throw from where he was born and raised. At age 91, Fr. John died on Wednesday of Holy Week in the Year of our Lord 2013.
Gibbons J. Cooney served as Fr. Malloy's secretary from 2001-2007 at Saints Peter and Paul, San Francisco, and as Father's assistant blogger.
