Pilgrim's Notes • add + Dylan Mchale, Kieran Finnerty 30 August 2026 6:19 pm It was a tough ol journey.

A really special day for us all.

I felt like I was sent a message to do this climb a couple of weeks back. I knew little of it so to find myself climbing on the Reek weekend was a gift. May all those who go after me tread lightly and mindfully. One step to the next....enjoy the journey. Walk with grace....♥️ Read More Nancy 17 July 2026 7:45 am I'm from Northern Ireland and have hiked the Mourne mountains many times over the last 10 years.

Read More R Mc Caughey 1 July 2026 7:22 am From monaghan over on a family holiday. I have never done anything like this before and Had no intention to climb croagh patrick but felt compelled to the more i looked at it. The feeling of achievement when i seen the church was like nothing else. I prayed to st patrick and said hail mary and our fathers. I would reccomend anyone to do it. Read More Mike from Nashville 29 June 2026 12:00 pm My mom passed a week ago today, she was Patricia. Climbed today in her honor, and prayed the rosary on the steps to the top, to help distract from the steps to the top. Weather was great, little cloudy but a fun hike with family. Read More Duncan 16 June 2026 12:00 pm I came here to connect with my Catholic ancestors and explore my own relationship with faith.

Other moments are less than pleasant, with changing difficulty and sudden storms, mirroring our fragile existence and troubles. We can only truly prepare ourselves for all the possible hazards and hardships of the journey through trust in God. All other precautions avail us nothing in comparison.

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 10:00 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.

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 11:03 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 3:55 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 11:35 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 12:07 pm We feel elated!

Multiple changes in the weather with rain, hail, wind but with God's grace we got to the top, woo hoo.

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 1:30 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.

Community & Spiritual Connection 20250323_183614.heic 1/8 Season of Creation 2026 September 1st - October 4th Theme "Living water" IMMERSION IN LIVING WATER: Ezekiel 47:9,12 Westport Parish ECO - Congregation “Future generations will never forgive us if we miss the opportunity to protect our common home. We have inherited a garden; we must not leave a desert for our children.” Joint statement from Pope Francis, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury. Theme: “Living Water” This year’s theme, “Living Water”, explores Ezekiel 47:9 and 12 as a powerful biblical vision of hope and ecological healing. Set amid exile and loss, the image of living water flowing from God’s sanctuary reveals divine healing that renews land, water, biodiversity, and human responsibility towards the whole creation. “ Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. […] Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” (Ezek 47:9,12) Learn More Discover the schools in our parish — visit our new Schools Listing for details on local primary and post-primary schools. our SCHOOLS Farewell To Fr.
