Festival Mass congregation with Lord Mayor Séan O'Leary

Subject

Cork Film Festival, Festival Mass

Description

This is an undated black and white photo of the congregation at a film festival mass in St Francis Church, Cork. The pews are full and those without seats stand up against the church walls. We notice the Lord Mayor Seán O’Leary kneeling at the outside edge of the front pew, folded hands resting under his chin. Across the aisle the former Lord Mayor of Cork, Gus Healy, kneels next to the festival director Dermot Breen, and his wife Vida who wears a white lace veil. Along the church pew the congregation kneel in prayer, some holding rosary beads. The presence of Lord Mayor Seán O’Leary helps us date this photo to 1972 or 1973.
