The priest described Foley as a great family man with 'a great human capacity'.
Ireland paid tribute to the late Anthony Foley with a figure-of-eight formation as they faced New Zealand's Haka in Chicago.
After denying they would challenge the All Blacks' famous pre-match war dance, Ireland assembled before kick-off on Saturday in honour of the former Munster head coach, who passed away last month.

Ireland captain Rory Best had said his players would treat the Haka with respect but as a 'sideshow', but the Irish took the opportunity to make a tribute of their own at Soldier Field.
Foley passed away suddenly overnight in the Munster team hotel ahead of their European Champions Cup match with Racing 92. The former Ireland No. 8 was capped 62 times by his country and made over 200 appearances for his province.
