Pilgrimage Dates: March 18 – March 30, 2023
Come join us as we explore the significant impact Ireland has had on the Catholic Faith. Ireland is known as the land of saints and scholars. Much of our Catholic identity was preserved in the monasteries of Ireland through the Middle Ages. It is a beautiful country filled with charm.
Scotland is equally one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is the land of fairies, castles, and impossibly nice people. It is lush and filled with dramatic landscape. The Catholic Church’s history here is rich and complex.
Incredible memories of people and places awaits. Come and draw ever closer to God on this faith-filled pilgrimage.
Join Bishop Emeritus Gerald Kicanas and Deacon Ed Sheffer on this wonderful pilgrimage to Ireland and Scotland!
May the road rise up to meet you Be thou a bright flame before me
May the wind be ever at your back Be thou a guiding star above me
May the sunshine warm upon your face Be thou a smooth path below
The rains fall soft upon your fields Be thou kindly shepherd behind me
Until we meet again, may God hold you Today, tonight and for ever
In the palm of His hand. (St. Columba)
(Traditional Irish Blessing)
