Sean Lavery
Sean Lavery was a Roman Catholic priest for the Missionary Society of St. Columban, also known as ''The Columbans''. He was born in Lurgan in 1931, County Armagh.
Shortly after his ordination in 1954, Father Lavery moved to the United States where he graduated from Manhattanville College, New York, with a degree in music. He was transferred overseas and appointed to the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Ozamiz in the Philippines. He held many posts including leading the liturgical and musical development and musical development for the diocese. As part of this effort, he commissioned the building of a pipe organ in Germany; the organ was exported from Europe and installed in the Cathedral in 1967. It is one of the few pipe organs in the Philippines.〔(Department of Tourism - The Philippines Ultimate Travel Guide for Tourist )〕 Though hardly intended at the time, this pipe organ has now become one of the singular tourist attractions for Ozamiz City and the Archdiocese of Ozamiz.〔(limledi Ozamis City Travel Page - VirtualTourist.com )〕
Fr. Lavery left the Philippines in 1977 to study for his doctorate in sacred music in Rome. In 1980, he was transferred to Ireland where he assumed the post of Director of Sacred Music at St Patrick's College, Maynooth. A prolific composer, Father Lavery was passionate about Gregorian Chant and influenced many future musicians, including Father Liam Lawton, a popular singer/priest in Ireland〔(Carlow Nationalist - 2002/11/11: Songs for his people )〕 He was a member of the Irish Church Music Association and was, from the spring of 1984 to the winter of 1987, editor of ''Jubilius'', a Maynooth publication.〔(Roma locuta, causa finita )〕He resigned his position to do parish work in Jamaica in 1987, where he rebuilt his church after it was destroyed by Hurricane Gilbert.
Father Lavery died in 1999. He was buried at the Columban Father House in Navan, County Meath on March 29, 1999.〔http://www.irishnews.com/searchlog.asp?reason=denied_empty&script_name=/pageacc.asp&path_info=/pageacc.asp&tser1=ser&par=ben&sid=401992〕 A church hall in Jamaica whose construction was partly financed by Lurgan people was opened in 2001, it was named "The Father Sean Lavery Faith Hall" in his memory at Savanna -La-Mar.
