A Place
of Pilgrimage
Lough Derg, the sacred
Sanctuary of St Patrick, is very much a living part of Irish Christian
Heritage.
A unique island, rich
in prayer and faith, an island which has been calling pilgrims for over a
thousand years, an island which St Patrick himself was called to.
For many people Lough
Derg provides an opportunity to step back from their lives, to take stock and
examine the direction which their lives are taking. For many others it is a
time to come closer to God through prayer and reflection.
Lough Derg is an
island of pilgrimage set in calm lake waters, offers no distraction, no
artificialities or interruptions. Instead you are warmly welcomed and cared
for: there are no strangers here. The island, made holy by the prayers of
millions of pilgrims over the centuries, continues to provide a safe haven for
rest, reflection and renewal to all who wish to ‘Come away to a quiet place
and rest a while’, Mark 6:31
The
Island is now open for the 2015 Summer Pilgrimage Season.
One Day
Retreats are offered on specific
dates in May; 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 12, 16, 17, 19, 23, 24 & 25. After the Three
Day Pilgrmage season One Day Retreats recommence in late August and continue
into September.
The Three
Day Pilgrimage Season begins
on Friday 29th May 2015.
Please contact us
directly if you wish to find out about the 2015 season or if you wish to
organise a group to come to the island for a One Day Retreat or a Group Tour we
will be delighted to help you.
