Orbsen pefromed an all Latin mass in the University Chapel on Thursday 27th of September. the event was a memorial service for John Moriarity who passed away earlier this year. John was a well known and highly respected writer and on the 23 June 2006 John was conferred with the degree of Doctor of Literature, Honoris Causa by NUIG.
The service, which was attended by many of the University staff including University president, Iggy Ó Muircheartaigh, included many readings from the writer.
Orbsen perfomed an opening Kyrie followed by Psalm XXIV, then a setting of the Sanctus. During the communion we performed a Benedictus and we wrapped up proceedings with a particularly good setting of the Salve Regina.
It was the first time the group perfomed an all-Latin mass.
