The other schools in the Choir were from Cork, Ireland; Brentwood, Essex; and Marnhull, Dorset. It is difficult to describe the gratitude years later due to Dr Berry's efforts, and I wish also to remember the work of Dr Berry's colleague, our teacher at Muckross, Sr Marie de Lourdes Lynch. I should like to begin singing Gregorian Chant again as a gesture of tribute and thanks, not to mention the wonderful experience of it.

Sadly so many of the laity today wish to make their loved ones funerals into a celebration of the life of the deceased rather than praying for the repose of their immortal souls.abcdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893302470268580066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-60379386999424133182008-05-13T09:12:00.000+01:002008-05-13T09:12:00.000+01:00thanks, correctedthanks, correctedFr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-91654169056799957652008-05-13T08:46:00.000+01:002008-05-13T08:46:00.000+01:00Sr Thomas More?Sr Thomas More?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
