Reek Sunday Plans, 27 July 2025

 


Our thanks to St Mary's Church, Westport, 

for provision of these helpful and attractive prayer guides,

 suitable for pilgrims of any denomination (or none). 



Our plans for Reek Sunday day are as below:

(1) Service of the Word, on the Mountain - 10.30am

This year our Church of Ireland parishes have been invited, most kindly, by our ecumenical friends from the Roman Catholic Church and Archdiocese of Tuam to avail of the Oratory on Croagh Patrick to hold a service in our own church tradition. We are grateful for their welcome and generosity.


 
(2) Gentle walk-and-talk-and-pray - 2.30pm

For those who wish to enter in to the spirit and joy of the day but are unable to make the climb, there will be the opportunity to gather in the Murrisk carpark and with a few others to walk to the St Patrick statue at the foot of the mountain, for prayer and reflection. This will be led by a few of our trainee 'LLLMs' and accompanied and blessed by Bishop Michael. Everyone is invited and welcome!

Return to Inishbiggle, Sat 15 February 2025

Image
  It was especially joyful for a few of us from mainland Mayo to step foot again on Inishbiggle on 15th February, having been prevented by the weather from sailing on our last attempt at the end of November 2024. While on this occasion it was lashing in Limerick, wet in Westport, and raining cats and dogs in Castlebar, the sun was splitting the clouds gloriously on the approach to beautiful Biggle. Also uplifting was to arrive at the church and on entering to find it looking, if not transfigured, transformed - for example, with its newly-stripped and repolished pews, clean floors, doors, harmonica and walls, and a close-to-spotless vestry into the bargain. Hats off and enormous thanks to the church wardens for the hours of painstaking work - truly a labour of love for this precious and important place of gathering and worship, emanating from a sincere love for God and his people, of all faiths and persuasions. Holy Trinity Inishbiggle conveys the message “Come on in! There’s plenty...
