Lough Derg's
Mission, Vision & Values

MISSION

Faithful to a tradition inspired by Patrick, who himself found hope and new purpose in his time among the mountains, Lough Derg is here to offer opportunities for deep encounter with self and with God in these changing times. ​

VISION

In a busy world, Lough Derg is an island apart, welcoming all who seek peace, spiritual nourishment and new direction through pilgrimage, presence and prayer. ​

VALUES

WELCOME  for each one who comes, true to the spirit of a place of sanctuary – the ancient tearmann 

RESPECT   the freedom to come as you are, whatever life experience you may bring 

SPACE   for the deeper things, away from demands to be ever available and online 

WONDER   at the simple beauty of nature in this out-of-the-way corner of God’s creation 

FAITH   that the things of the spirit are true and real and worthy of our attention 

AUTHENTICITY   in touch with one’s best and truest self, and with what really matters 

HOPE   that another new beginning is always possible and that grace will lead us home 

HEALING   for hearts that know their vulnerability and that long to forgive and to be forgiven 

LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOUR   after the example of Jesus who made God’s compassion real for all who came his way
