Experience the glorious landscapes of the Land of Saints and Scholars, dotted with ancient monasteries and awe-inspiring Cathedrals. While in Ireland you will be surrounded by the beauty of God's creation that gave rise to "green martyrdom." While on pilgrimage we will visit holy sites such as Armagh, the spiritual center of Ireland for over 1500 years, the Rock of Cashel where St. Patrick was known to have prayed, and the cathedrals in Galway and Dublin. Of course no visit to Ireland would be complete without being able to pray in Knock, where in 1879 our Lady appeared in to a group of locals. Join us on a pilgrimage of faith to the tiny green island that had such a huge impact on global Catholicism.
