The O’Riordan Family today

 Des

 I spent four years doing my theology in Italy and after my ordination in 1968 went to work in Malta for 6 years.  I moved to London in 1974 and was on the teaching staff of the college for 25 years.  During my sabbatical year I followed courses at Marianella in Dublin and at Warrenstown College in Co Meath. I spent two long summers in the USA.  During the summer months I work in parishes in the New York area and have my summer holidays there as well. I returned to Battersea as Bursar in 2000 and am at present Rector and Bursar to our Religious Community here in London.
