Colombian Missionaries
Something Different for Terrace Talk Ireland
Two Colombian missionaries priests both former Kerry football captains recalling their days in Kerry and their work among the poor in the mission fields of South America. Surly one of the most fascinating Terrace Talks of all. Unique and inspiring as Fr. Michael Howe, Killarney and Fr. Tommy Hanlon of Tarbert Co. Kerry open their hearts to Weeshie.

 

Fr. Michael Howe and Fr. Tommy Hanlon were both superb footballers with their clubs in Ireland. Michael comes from the Kerry lakeside town of Killarney and played football with the local Killarney Legion club, St. Brendan's College and Killarney. The other Killarney GAA club is Dr. Crokes.

 

Fr. Tommy comes from the little North Kerry town of Tarbert and also began his school career at the local school. The calling of their vocation brought both of these exemplary men to the farthest corners of the world as they went forth to spread the word of God. Their story is so inspiring that Weeshie says during the interview there were moments when tears filled his eyes. "We are so far removed from their lives that sport, winning and losing is so irrelevant".
