Lough Derg

Last Sunday, pilgrims were back on the Island on our One Day Retreats for the first time in 2 years! Take a look at our highlights video for an overview of the programme. There are a few Retreat dates in May before the Three Day Pilgrimage begins in June 👉youtu.be/MhwqAaDglh4

The Holy Land is one of the greatest pilgrimage destinations in the Christian Tradition. Lough Derg congratulates @MichaelKellyIC and wishes him well with his new book. twitter.com/MichaelKellyIC…

Remembering Fr Pat McHugh - a dear friend of Lough Derg. A week ago today the pilgrims and staff of Lough Derg lost a great friend, a great confessor, a great man. We miss him already and we will miss him more in the future. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

We invite you to pause and ponder on Holy Week with Mary tonight. Day by day, we have heard of the suffering endured by the women, children and all of Ukraine. The innocent Jesus continues to suffer with victims of violence of every kind. We ponder Jesus' words in the Passion...

Friends, it is less than 4 weeks until pilgrims return to Station Island for the first of our One Day Retreats, beginning on Sunday 1st May. The grass has been cut, the St Davog boat is already on the water and the St Columba will join it later this week! Blessings

We invite you to pause and ponder on your journey through Lent with Davog tonight. Let us ponder the words of Jesus in the Gospel text for the fifth Sunday of Lent: “Neither do I condemn you.” Blessings
