Fr Seán Rogan 
An 81-year old priest in Co. Down has taken his love for music to Facebook on Saturday nights to boost morale in these difficult times.
Fr Seán Rogan of Carryduff, known as the ‘piano player’, told The Irish Catholic what prompted him to go on social media.
“While we were in this lockdown, it struck me that our parishioners are confined to their homes and could use a bit of entertainment.
“So I decided one Saturday night to use the web cam in the church and play the piano for over an hour doing different songs.
“The response was very good,” adds Fr Seán.
“People rang up and asked ‘could you do another one?’, so about three weeks ago, I did and this time it was on Facebook and got about 3,000 hits.
“I then did another one last Saturday and I thought it was the best one yet.
“I said this was for NHS workers to credit, praise and honour them for their heroism. I also asked to pray for those who are ill and those who had died and their families as well.”
