Gather us in faith. Open our doors. Open our hearts. Turn strangers into friends, houses into homes, Sceptics into believers, death into life. Amen.    (Fr. Liam G. Ryan O.S.A).


BRIGID is a great Role Model for us of confidence in the providence of God, of kindness, of the creativity of women and of healing – that through her intercession we pray healing for every person on this island and on the face of the earth.  We rejoice that this year a holiday in her memory is celebrated.
