Cathy Maguire's stirring performance of "Our Lady of Knock" was a highlight for Cardinal Timothy Dolan St. Patrick's Day in 2017.
Professional singer Maguire, a native of Dundalk in Co Louth, sang out the lyrics to a packed St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Facebook reaction was immediate.
Maguire told IrishCentral the reaction to her performance was overwhelming and she looks forward to following up with the numerous appearance requests that have come her way since. This video has now had over one million views.
