Come join Fr. Patrick Fitzsimons for a journey in the footsteps of St Patrick, starting in Dublin. Our journey will take us to my home County of Meath and Shane where St Patrick lit the Paschal Fire which began the conversion of the Irish to Christianity. We will visit his burial site in Downpatrick and proceed to Armagh to St Patrick’s Cathedral. The tour will also take us to Summerhill where I grew up, and we will have Mass at my Parish Church. Other highlights will be Dublin, Belfast, the Shrine of our Lady of Knock, Galway, the Monastery of Clonmacnoise, and ending our tour in Dublin. The journey will focus on the spiritual; we will have daily Mass and visit significant religious sites that played an important part in my own faith journey. The tour will also include a bite of Spirit of Ireland, tours of Guinness Brewery, Jamesson, Slane, Bushmills and Kilbeggan Whiskey distilleries. All while experiencing the faith, culture, and beauty of my native land.
