 his year several bands of pilgrims will visit the ancient Christian sites of Ireland. These pilgrimages are prayerful, contemplative journeys to the islands, lakes, and mountains where the early Saints and scholars of Ireland established their culture of faith and learning around monasteries and churches, many of which remain today as witnesses in stone.
