after "passions" moved to directv in september 2007, father lonigan was referenced several times but would not be seen until the following year. he returned on july 21, 2008, to perform a series of four wedding ceremonies, beginning with kay and miguel. on the final episode of "passions", in order to save harmony from being destroyed in a volcanic eruption, he baptized tabitha (who had given up her magical powers previously) and also performed ethan and theresa's wedding ceremony. endora restored father lonigan's eyesight shortly before the ceremony.
