Pilgrim's Notes • add + Nicole Sheridan & Grzegorz Pokrywczyński 6 April 2026 7:21 pm First visit,easter monday 2026, beautiful place. God bless. Read More David, Hope, and Mary 23 November 2025 2:30 pm We are visiting Ireland for the first time from Pennsylvania, USA. Our visit to Westport was lovely. Climbed Croagh Patrick not quite knowing what we were getting into. What an adventure! Felt like a great accomplishment. How about St. Patrick 40 days on the mountain... water? Shelter? Must have been a powerful, prayerful experience. Definitely felt like a Holy experience connecting to God, St. Patrick, and all the pilgrims who went before us. We were blessed to participate in this special tradition. Read More Ciara Burns 18 October 2025 9:00 am Have been wanting to do this walk for a while..visibility wasn't great but it was lovely to reach the summit and say a wee prayer at the chapel. Read More Geraldine Kilkelly 28 September 2025 10:05 pm It was a beautiful day and thankful I climbed today. When I was 40 min in I thought oh this is so hard I could turn back. Then I remembered this is an old pattern of mine saying I can't do it and 3 hours later I reached the top. Thank you. Read More Nia Burgess 24 September 2025 10:03 am I've been struggling to understand God, faith, and christianity in general for a long time now. I'm still unsure of exactly what I believe, but experiencing Croagh Patrick inspired me and filled me with peace. I can feel the spirit of everyone who's made the climb before me, as if we're all here at once, and all connected. I came to Ireland in hopes of finding true solitude and quiet, and Croagh Patrick has more than filled that need. I feel a sense of rest here, as if something outside of me, bigger than me, is keeping me safe. I'm filled with gratitude for the people who fought to preserve this mountain, and that I was able to see this beautiful view. Read More Mairéad and Magnus Knox 25 August 2025 2:55 pm Thank you for reminding us of the spectacular beauty of creation- a lovely eagle flew by, and much encouragement from other climbers Read More David O' Donoghue and Asuka O’ Donoghue 15 August 2025 10:35 am We came from Japan and I insisted that the only thing I wanted to do on the visit was go up Croagh Patrick in honour of my mother who passed away in the past two years. My wife has had a little surgery in the last month but, despite my worries, powered up to the summit. She did wonderfully well. What a wonderfully well maintained walking route to the summit. God bless all the people who worked - and work - to make the hike up here a lovely safe one.

It was very disappointing to find the doors of the Church closed. I so wanted to go in, say a prayer and have a rest. Everyone else who arrived with us was of the same opinion. I do think that this is something which needs to be looked at, in these times when things are difficult for the Church. John Kelly Read More Lisa and Bernie 10 August 2025 11:07 am We feel elated!

Multiple changes in the weather with rain, hail, wind but with God's grace we got to the top, woo hoo. Please hear all our prayers God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and grant our hearts desires, Amen. P.s, I also got my pilgrim badge, I'm so happy.

Feeling positive and looking forward to new challenges. Leaving some of my spirit here and takin some of Croagh Patrick with me. Read More DS & JS 23 June 2025 11:54 am May this day bring Sabbath rest to my heart and my home. May God’s image in me be restored, and my imagination in God be re-storied. May the gravity of material things be lightened, and the relativity of time slow down. May I know grace to embrace my own finite smallness in the arms of God’s infinite greatness. May God’s Word feed me and His Spirit lead me into the week and into the life to come. AMEN Read More Heneghan Family 22 June 2025 11:30 am This hike is like life.

The views from the peak are a reminder of life’s vastness and the opportunities that lie beyond the horizon, waiting for us to take that leap of chance. Good health became more than a wish; it felt like a responsibility—to care for ourselves, for one another, and for the Earth that holds us all. And as the wind carried prayers whispered by generations before, it felt like a collective yearning for peace on Earth, a dream we still hold dear, no matter how distant it may sometimes seem. May the year ahead be as grounding and uplifting as the Reek itself. Read More Fr John Kenny 1 January 2025 12:30 pm On Wednesday January 1st 2025.

It is said to be the mountain which St. Patrick himself climbed up, and pilgrims have been hiking up its hillside ever since. Those who are feeling especially penitential will climb the mountain barefoot, and apparently we had a contrite batch of students, as at least a third of the group climbed up the hill sans footwear. In all seriousness, it was beautiful to watch them experience the physical and spiritual journey of the mountain. We made frequent stops for short reflections and prayers, and each time we paused, we were reminded of how blessed we are to live on this beautiful Earth.
