It was with great shock and sorrow that we learned of the sudden death of another member of St Patrick's Music - John Shepherd. John passed away on Sunday 13th April 2008 and his requiem mass was celebrated on Thursday 24th April.

John was a long standing member of St Patrick's Music Group and a member of St Patrick's Choral. He always enjoyed music group retreats to Ammerdown and was also looking forward to joining the choral tour to Ireland in May.
