Carrying the light of the love of Jesus Christ

"The lamp of David’s life on earth has been put out. It is now up to each one of us to realise that the life that he lived and handed on to us has not been extinguished – we must carry that same light of the love of Jesus Christ wherever we are continuing that Christlike apostolate of love which has so moved so many in so many different ways here in our midst."

We say goodbye, until we meet again...


Over a thousand mourners gathered in and around St Mary's Cathedral Edinburgh for the Funeral Mass of the Right Reverend Monsignor David Robert Gemmell MTh.


H.E. Keith Patrick Cardinal O'Brien was the Principal Celebrant at the Mass for his "best friend in the priesthood", on the 17th March, St Patrick's day and the Cardinal's 70th Birthday.


Over 100 priests including Bishops Joseph Devine, Vincent Logan and Bishop Emeritus John Mone concelebrated the Funeral Mass for their friend and colleague.
