TRIBUTE TO LIAM HERLIHY R.I.P.

Liam Herlihy was born in Knocknagree, Co Cork, a member of a family of four. He got a scholarship to New Ross College for his secondary education. Worked in the Civil Service mostly in the Department of Defence and cared for his mother and handicapped sister during their lives. He married a fellow legionary Joan Collins and they had three children.

During his membership of the Legion of Mary he held Curia Officerships in Predicanda and Immaculata Curiae; helped set up a religious library in Immaculata Curia; corresponded with Austria during which time he visited the Senatus a number of times; was editor of Maria Legionis for many years; and attended the Concilium meeting where he made many valuable contributions to the meeting. The highlight in his daily life was to attend Mass. Over a span of 60 years he gave a very dedicated service to the Legion.

He died in Cedar Nursing Home on Wednesday 4th September and was buried on the anniversary of the Legion, Saturday 7th September.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
