The parish of St John’s Perth was rocked at the start of this year with the sudden and untimely death of their beloved Organist and Choir Mistress Susan Cassidy. She was 65.
Susan was the second youngest child of the late Charlie and Kathleen Cassidy. She is survived by her brother Tony, a Redemptorist priest in London, her sisters Mary Lou and Jane and her brother Father Mark Cassidy, priest of our diocese and Rector of the Scots College in Rome.
Father Mark led the Requiem Mass for his beloved sister, with priests from across the diocese concelebrating. Archbishop Leo Cushley of St Andrews and Edinburgh, a good friend of the Cassidy family, and Bishop Stephen Robson, Bishop Emeritus of Dunkeld, presided.
