The Pilgrims of Lough Derg

Amaing stories from amazing people...

28/2/2025

 
I went to Lough Derg on many occasions, but I feel that the one time I worked on the Island as a Priest was amazing. Of the many experiences I had was chatting to the people in the wet room. I heard amazing stories from amazing people. Some were struggling with life in health, mind and body. All had a common desire to be away from their world and be present to their God. For me I was given hope from the pilgrims. This is church, this is faith, this is Lough Derg.
