Join Fr. Thomas LaPointe and Fr. Rich Perkins on an inspiring Celtic Catholic Pilgrimage through the sacred landscapes of Ireland and Scotland. This thoughtfully designed journey offers a time of grace, spiritual renewal, and cultural discovery. Pilgrims will begin in Ireland at the Knock Shrine and Museum, a site of Marian apparition and prayer. The journey continues to Dublin’s historic Trinity College to view the illuminated Book of Kells and includes visits to Downpatrick—resting place of St. Patrick—and Belfast, before crossing by ferry to Scotland. Highlights in Scotland include Glasgow, the tranquil beauty of Loch Lomond, and the sacred island of Iona, founded by St. Columba in the 6th century and known as the birthplace of Celtic Christianity. The pilgrimage concludes with visits to Stirling Castle, the vibrant city of Edinburgh, Leith Distillery, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, ending with prayerful reflection at Dunfermline Abbey and the peaceful harbor of South Queensferry. Daily Mass will be celebrated throughout the journey, offering moments of renewal, contemplation, and fellowship.
