In 2010, a profound tribute to the life and legacy of Eamon Mark Paul Molloy QSM took shape through the establishment of a scholarship. This scholarship owes its existence to the generous contributions received from former overseas students, all commemorating the memory of a remarkable individual.
Eamon Molloy, born in Reefton in 1928, was a man whose life resonated with unwavering commitment and profound kindness. Born to an Irish mother, Margaret Mary, and a New Zealand-born father of Irish descent, Patrick Joseph Molloy, Eamon’s upbringing instilled in him a deep-rooted faith and an abiding belief in the teachings of Christ. It was this foundation that propelled Eamon towards a lifelong dedication to aiding others.
Immersed in the St Vincent de Paul Society across various capacities, Eamon exemplified his commitment by reaching out to support the underprivileged. His altruistic spirit shone brightly in the 1960s when he began extending his assistance to numerous foreign students and migrants. Eamon became a guiding force for these individuals, facilitating their integration into New Zealand society by securing permanent accommodations and introducing them to the local way of life. As a guardian figure, he oversaw the overall welfare of many overseas students in Christchurch, going above and beyond to ensure their well-being.
His advocacy didn’t stop there. During the late 1960s and 1970s, Eamon assumed an advisory role in the Canterbury Malaysian & Singaporean Student Association. He played a pivotal role in aiding Indo-Chinese refugees arriving in New Zealand, working tirelessly to reunite families separated in refugee camps. Often battling bureaucratic hurdles and administrative obstacles, Eamon devoted days to extensive research and correspondence, ensuring families were reunited. Even in his eighties, he remained actively involved in extending a warm welcome to ethnic minorities, continuing his legacy of compassion.
Eamon Molloy’s life of service spanned over 50 years, leaving an indelible mark on the community, particularly ethnic communities. His dedication was acknowledged just before his passing in November 2009 when he received the Queen’s Service Medal.
The inception of this scholarship was made possible by the heartfelt contributions of those whose lives were touched by Eamon. Their desire to preserve his memory in a significant manner led to the creation of this scholarship, a testament to his enduring impact on numerous lives.
The Eamon Mark Paul Molloy QSM Scholarship stands not only as a tribute to an extraordinary individual but also as a beacon of hope and support for aspiring individuals seeking educational opportunities. It embodies the spirit of kindness, compassion, and dedication that Eamon exemplified throughout his life, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire future generations.
