“We will then open a book of condolence where people can write a message,” he said. “Sister Clare was well known locally and since her death people who knew her have been sharing memories and stories.

“Young people who hear of Sister Clare’s story, particularly in this modern world, can associate with her. She found real contentment in her life and she died as she lived, helping other people.”

The Derry priest encouraged as many people as possible to come to pray for Sister Clare, and her family and that her remains will be returned to her family as soon as possible.
