Easter in Ireland
Comments from the folk who went to the Easter workshop in Ireland:

"It was good to meet so many new folks & to renew old friendships. The workshops that we attended were all excellent, but our abiding memory is, once more, of the amazing warmth & hospitality of the Irish folks"

"Christ was at work in people who transcended the man-made barriers of fear… "

"Prayer, worship, hope in faith, fellowship and love all combined to give us
truth on which to reflect…"

 
 
"Meeting people who were just names in Caim or the Prayer Guide..."

"Meeting, hearing, seeing, listening and learning from so many new people connecting with the Community"
The music workshop  
 
"Creating Celtic designs with Pam French"    
 
"Meeting old friends and making lots of new ones" "Laughing till it hurt at the Saturday night ceiledh"  
 
"Deepening of my understanding of the vision, ethos and history of St. Patrick and our involvement the people of Ireland, under God's hand, to repair the broken altars, by building the new on the foundations of the past (the old)"

 
"Being and worshipping at Saul - the journeying and the view from Slieve Patrick on the Prayer walk which Dominic led - amazing and unforgettable"

"Being touched by a place"
