St Patrick’s Purgatory – Lough Derg
The Sanctuary of St Patrick, Lough Derg, is situated in Co Donegal, Ireland. This is a place of pilgrimage with roots in the early Christian centuries, still offering sustenance, support and refreshment for the spirit in changing times. It is an island with a unique heritage of prayer and faith, and it has been drawing pilgrims for over a thousand years, in the name of St Patrick. For many people today Lough Derg offers an opportunity to step back from their lives, to find support and accompaniment for faithful, hope-filled living in our post-modern culture.
