Dundalk born singer Cathy Maguire will take to the pulpit at St Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue in New York City this evening to sing at a Memorial Mass in honour of the six Irish students who lost their lives when a balcony collapsed in Berkeley, California.

Commenting ahead of tonight’s Mass at 6.30pm, Cathy said she was absolutely honoured to have been asked to sign by the Consul General.

She said: “It is truly a privilege to sing in memory of those poor kids who lost their lives so tragically in Berkeley.”

Cathy, who shot to fame as a teenager, has resided in America for a number of years where she has made a big name for herself.
