We regret to communicate that Msgr. Cormac Burke, our Assistant Chaplain passed on peacefully on 22nd November 2021.
He was the first chaplain of Strathmore School (1978).
He was a former Irish Civil Lawyer and was ordained a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei in 1955. After 30 years of pastoral work in Africa, United Sates and England, he was appointed a judge of the High Court of the Church, the Roman Rota(1986-1999) during the Pontificate of St. John Paul II.
Upon retirement, he asked to return to Nairobi, Kenya, where he continued to work in the school Chaplaincy, while guiding many other men and women along their path to God.
He was the author of numerous books and articles, and remained an invaluable consultant to the Holy See.
We keep him in our prayers, offering up many hours of study, work and all we do during these days for the repose of his soul.
May he rest in eternal peace.
