  Date of Birth: 08/07/1934
  Date of Ordination in Rome: 23/11/1958
  Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes
  
  Jack, born in Cardiff, NSW, and a priest of the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes, was the second son of Bill and Rose Moroney. His elder brother, Bill, was also a priest of the same diocese. Jack was educated by the Sisters of Mercy in Parkes and Broken Hill as well as the Marist Brothers in Forbes and Broken Hill.
  
  In 1951 Jack entered the Springwood Seminary and then spent two years at Manly Seminary, where he was approached by Bishop Fox to study in Rome. In 1955, he arrived at Propaganda College, Rome and was ordained on 23 November, 1958 by Cardinal Agagianian. He completed his Licentiate in 1959.
  
  Jack served in many parishes throughout the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes – Broken Hill, Bourke, Brewarrina, Deniliquin, Wentworth, Warren, Cobar and Parkes. He was Vicar General for several years.
  
  He was an inspirational leader of his parish communities, believing the laity, religious and clergy have equal value in the Church. He had a special passion for ecumenism and worked with the indigenous throughout the diocese. He was a great story teller with an infectious laugh.
  As young curate he edited a magazine The Curate's Quarterly which he sent to every curate in Australia. There were four or five editions and copies are at the Sydney Diocesan Library, as an example of a periodical commenting on the Vatican Council.
  
  After suffering a stroke in 2000, Jack retired to Parkes to live with his brother Bill. Jack had a serious fall in 2015 and was unable to return to his home in Parkes. He moved to an Aged Care Facility in Ballarat to be close to his two sisters, Rosalie and Mary and his extended family.
  Jack died peacefully at St John of God Hospital, Ballarat on 14th July, 2016.
  
  Rest now in peace dear Jack.
