Fr. Gerry Maloney
Since ordination in 1988, his main work has been in Redemptorist Communications. He is the editor of Reality and Face Up magazines, among other publications. The writing apostolate is an important means of preaching the Good News, and something in which the Irish Redemptorists have invested a lot. It goes hand-in-hand with our main work of preaching parish missions and Gerry continues to preach parish missions and novenas, and loves it.
