20th December 2008 Our Lady Immaculate and St Andrew, Hitchin.
“The virgin is with child and shall bear a son, and she will call him Emmanuel.”Is. 7, 14
Icalled today a “Golden Jubilee, a Golden Memory a Golden Advent” and I am sure that given the present economic crisis some of you would prefer just to have the first part of each doublet!! But we gather here to remember and to celebrate golden events. We hear again today of that Golden event that was instrumental in transforming our destiny from being a people lost and truly poverty stricken into a people with a golden destiny which we continue to live. The event I refer to is Mary saying yes to God, and yes to us and for us. It is therefore not only appropriate but just and right that we choose today to give thanks for the 50 Golden years of Father Robert’s priesthood, for his saying yes to God and a yes to us, a response that he lived so generously in the example of Mary.

May 1934, Brendan was the youngest child of Anthony and Mary
Kate O’Malley. He began his education in Belmullet before moving
on to St Maddock’s, Ballina, in 1947 where he matriculated
with honours. Soon after leaving school he left Ireland for the big
smoke, London. This move was intriguing because he suffered
from asthma and he was told the London smog would only
aggravate the condition!! On the contrary, he said that after
arriving in London he never suffered from asthma again!!
