The funeral takes place today of popular Kildysart priest Monsignor Michael O’Grady.

Monsignor O’Grady, who attended St. Flannan’s College and played Gaelic Games for Clare in his youth, served as a priest in the US state of Arizona from 1958 but always maintained his links with Clare, and his native Kildysart.

He passed away last weekend, and is survived by his sister Rose, along with nephews, nieces, and a wider circle of family and friends.
