Lough Derg

Tonight, we bring you the last video of our ‘Pause & Ponder in November’ series. Josh Treacy prays in a special way for all the bereaved who bear the heavy cross of sadness and loneliness. Next week, Mary begins a new series 'Pause and Ponder with Poetry in Advent' Blessings

Tonight, Maureen reflects on the contribution of staff to the mission and ministry of Lough Derg. It is their dedication that ensures the welcoming pilgrim experience that Lough Derg is renowned for. We invite you to join us in prayer for all deceased Lough Derg staff. Blessings

Christmas is fast approaching – even here at Lough Derg. We have been working behind the scenes (since the Summer!) to bring you our new Christmas range. Mary has been picking her favourite pieces from the Lough Derg shop. You can view our new range here: loughderg.live/shop

On this second week of November, Davog McCaffrey brings another beautiful reflection to our Pause and Ponder in November series, focusing on the Island’s images of Our Lady. As a symbol of motherhood and family, Mary evokes prayers for all our deceased family members. Blessings

Friends, the first reflection in our new ‘Pause and Ponder in November’ series is brought to you this evening, All Saints’ Day, by Mary. Focusing on images of pilgrims praying on the Penitential Beds on Station Island, we invite you to join in prayer for our ancestors. Blessings

Friends, Mary introduces our new #PauseandPonder in November series of reflections, which will be brought to you by Mary and other Lough Derg friends. We hope it will invoke memories of your visits to the island and of your departed loved ones. Join us here next Monday. Blessings
