The Gentleman of St. Patrick’s Cathedral Choir sang the St Patrick’s Setting by Mawby at the funeral of Father Michael Hurley in the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Dublin.
The Dean and Sub-Dean also took part. Father Hurley was regarded by many as the founder of ecumenism in Ireland and he was the first Roman Catholic to preach in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. He will have a lasting memorial in the Irish School of Ecumenics, which he founded in 1970.
