Pilgrimage to Ireland (the "Other" Holy Land) with Fr. J. Marcel Portelli

Dear Fellow Disciples, Join us this October for a spiritual pilgrimage to the Emerald Isle, where you’ll tread the hallowed ground where saints and countless pilgrims have walked before. Our journey will lead us to sacred sites, each steeped in divine presence, beauty, and history, such as:

  • The Tomb of St. Patrick, Apostle to Ireland.
  • The Rock of Cashel: Explore ancient ruins atop this limestone hill, where kings were crowned and saints prayed.
  • St. Canice’s Cathedral: Step into medieval splendor within its stone walls, where centuries of worship echo.
  • St. Patrick’s Purgatory: Visit the mystical island where St. Patrick himself encountered God’s grace.
  • Our Lady of Knock Shrine: Find solace in its serene surroundings, where the Virgin Mary appeared to the faithful.

In 2024, we also commemorate the 1,500th anniversary of St. Brigid of Kildare's entry into eternal life. As the co-patron saint of Ireland, alongside Saints Patrick and Columba, St. Brigid’s influence continues to resonate today.

Through prayer and community, we’ll delve into the heart of Irish spirituality. Our pilgrimage offers a unique opportunity to strengthen your faith, deepen your relationship with God, and connect with fellow pilgrims.
