At Christmas it is important to remember the ones we have lost and include them in our day.

One man from Monaghan made an extra effort to pay tribute to his late wife this morning at Christmas mass, singing a solo in his choir.

Joe is in his 70s and according to friend and congregation member Lisa, is a true community gentleman.

Lisa says:

“This Christmas morning mass he debuted a solo with When A Child Is Born.”

“He lost his wife only last Christmas and no doubt – Mary, his wife was looking down on him as he sang this morning.”

“He is a true community man and this video portrays the true meaning of Christmas – faith, community, young and old coming together in song.”

The debut, we think you’ll agree, is simply stunning.

Well done Joe.
