Father Maguire conducted the service at St. Christopher's Church for the funeral of Liam Connor on 27th October, 2008. Liam's widow Maria asked if it would be permitted to take the couple's dog, Ozzy, into the church. The jovial yet compassionate Father told her that "if Jesus had an ox and an ass in the manger, I think we can manage a labrador". Credited as "Priest", the character's full name was given in dialogue.
