Mary Katrina McGrattan Obituary, The Catholic Chaplaincy at QUB Mourns Loss Of Member
The Catholic Chaplaincy at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) is a vibrant hub of faith, community, and support for its students and staff. This close-knit spiritual home, nestled within the bustling university environment, offers a sanctuary for those seeking solace, guidance, and fellowship. It is within this context of shared life and mutual care that the Chaplaincy community has recently been united in grief.
It is with profound sadness that the Catholic Chaplaincy at QUB has learned of the passing of Mary Katrina McGrattan, beloved sister of our cherished Chaplain, Fr Dominic. This news has cast a shadow of sorrow over the Chaplaincy, a place that so often provides comfort and strength.
In this difficult time, the entire Chaplaincy community holds Mary Katrina, Fr Dominic, their devoted mother Kitty, their siblings, and the entire McGrattan family in their heartfelt prayers. The bonds of faith and friendship within the Chaplaincy are a testament to its supportive nature, and this solidarity is particularly evident as they rally around their Chaplain.
Mary Katrina will be lovingly remembered and prayed for at Mass in the Chaplaincy throughout this week. As her soul is commended to the infinite and merciful love of God, the community will gather in prayer, seeking peace for her and strength for her grieving family. The timeless words, “Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her,” echo through the Chaplaincy, a powerful expression of hope and faith in the face of loss. The Chaplaincy stands as a beacon of prayer and remembrance, supporting the McGrattan family through this period of profound sadness.
