Hundreds of clergy, family and community members attended Friday’s funeral Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral Basilica.
Scores of clergy joined family and community members at a funeral Mass on Friday for the Rev. Patrick J. McGrath, the bishop emeritus of the Diocese of San Jose who died May 7 at age 77.
A portrait of Patrick J. McGrath, retired bishop of the Diocese of San Jose, is displayed during his funeral Mass, on May 19, 2023, at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph in San Jose, Calif. Monsignor Daniel Whelton, a longtime friend who met McGrath when both entered the seminary in Ireland in 1964, delivered the homily at Friday’s service. “I think for most of us, PJ’s death is like a light that has gone out, or like a tree that has fallen in the forest,” he said. “A giant in our midst has fallen and we will miss him.”
Following the Mass, clergy members gathered outside and sang “Salve Regina” as McGrath’s casket was carried from the cathedral. McGrath was buried later Friday at Gate of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in Los Altos.
