Rev. John V. Moran

My mother Mai Bourke & the family at Ballyheane Castlebar wish to extend our sympathy to Dorothy & Mary & all the family on the death of Fr John.
Visiting the grave of his aunt Kate(Skeffington) and saying a prayer in the church in Ballyheane meant a lot to him as he felt close to his roots.
We will miss his Christmas cards and the kind words.
Slan Abhaile Fr John.

My children and I were saddened to hear of the loss of this gentle man.
Father Moran was there at all times when my family needed him. He said the prayers for my husband, S. Vincent Brown as Farrell's Funeral Home. He baptized my twins, Vincent and Denise at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church in Hampton. He married my daughter Denise to John O'Sullivan. He baptized my granddaughter Emily Brown who said immediately that she wants to pay her last respects to Father Moran and will be there at the church to say “goodbye.”
My sister, Wanda Sanborn, of Exeter enjoyed attending St. Theresa’s masses to see Father Moran.
We will miss him during the holidays when he helped at St. Thesesas’ Church.
We offer our sympathies to all of his family and friends.
My family will always be grateful to you, Father Moran.

My mother, Mary Bourque, who is now in a nursing home, asked me to offer her sympathies. She has many fond memories of Father Moran, including the occasions when he Baptized two of her grandchildren. Both of my parents and our family were very saddened to hear of the loss of this wonderful man. As long time friends of Father Moran and his family we would like to offer our sympathies to all of his families and friends. The world will not be the same without him. He was always kind, caring and giving to our family.

Fondest love and affection for my mother's cousin whom I met on his last visit to Castlebar. Slan agus beannacht.

To a wonderful family....A Man to be proud of.... Father Moran was a blessing in our lives for almost 40 years. .. his words "to stay close to the Church" have been a beacon through the years ...we will miss him but will be forever grateful for the gift he gave us...the Boisverts and Dutilles of West Lebanon, N.H.

With fond memories of a great person and a wonderfully holy man. From all his relations in Ireland: Marie Bourke Mitchell and Dermot, Kilkenny, Diarmuid and Auveen Curran, Dublin, and especially first cousin, Ann Bourke Mitchell, Castlebar, County Mayo, with whom he enjoyed great times and many visits. "Air dheis De go raibh se"

Father Moran was such a gentle and loving man. He was an inspiration to my family with his great knowledge of world history and his sense of humor. He loved his faith and working within the church.Our prayers are with him and his family, God Bless.

Father Moran will always be remembered for his goodness, his humility, his holiness. He was a true priest of God. Our four sons, Chris, Johnny, Matt and Patrick, join us in sending our deepest condolences to his family for the loss of a most beloved pastor.

We will always remember Father John, his kind ways and his gentle manner.
Sincerely,
Joan Beattie (Margaret's cousin) and Ronald Routhier (husband)
