He attended primary and secondary school in Tralee and at St Brendan's College, Killarney, before studying for the priesthood at St Patrick's College, Maynooth, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy, and at the Pontifical Irish College, where he completed a Bachelor of Divinity at the Pontifical Gregorian University.

1977

Following ordination, Crean returned to Rome for further studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University, completing a Licentiate of Sacred Theology in 1977.

He returned to the Diocese of Kerry in 1977 for his first pastoral appointment, as catechist and chaplain in Killorglin.

1980

Creane was appointed curate in Glenbeigh in 1980, and subsequently chaplain to the comprehensive school in Tarbert in 1983.

1987

He completed a diploma in religious education at Mount Oliver Institute of Education, Dundalk, in 1987, before he was appointed director of the John Paul II Pastoral Centre in Killarney, as well as diocesan advisor to secondary schools and director of adult religious education.

It was during this time that Crean also served as a founding director of Radio Kerry, representing the Ardfert Christian Media Trust, a joint shareholding by the Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland, as well as chairperson of the Adult Religious Education National Association (ARENA) and on the national executive of the National Conference of Priests of Ireland.

Crean returned to pastoral ministry in 1996, when he was appointed curate in Killorglin for two years, before undertaking sabbatical studies at Weston School of Theology in Boston, Massachusetts, completing a Master of Sacred Theology.

Crean was appointed chairperson of Trócaire on 22 June 2013.

In his Christmas message in 2013, he warned that despite the recent departure of the EU/IMF troika, great hardship continues to be inflicted on vulnerable families and schools in Ireland.

Crean called on political leaders to redress austerity measures taken during the European debt crisis or risk of reaping "a very negative social harvest in Irish society".

2018

In advance of a referendum on liberalising abortion laws on 25 May 2018, Crean said in a pastoral letter that while he believed that individual personal experiences faced by women and their partners can be "sad and painful", he described the prospect of a "culture of abortion as a routine medical procedure” developing in Ireland as "horrendous".

2020

In a homily for the church's Day for Life in October 2020, he criticised the timing of a bill introduced to the Oireachtas legislating for the legalisation of assisted suicide and euthanasia, calling it "disingenuous and unnecessary", adding that assisting in suicide would not only be "a false exercise of compassion", but also that tolerating its practice would be "flawed in its moral judgement".

In an interview with The Irish Times on 13 March 2023 reflecting on the tenth anniversary of the election of Pope Francis, Crean described him as "a disrupter in the interest of renewal", adding that Francis will be seen in future as a "prophetic figure".
