Springtime always seeks to emit a ray of hope! With that in mind we launch ‘The Spirituality of St. Patrick’, a booklet described by its redemptorist author as a fountain of nourishment based on the writings of our national apostle. The booklet is not just a “good read” says John J., “it is a Rule of Life, a rule that sustained Patrick through rain and shine, giving meaning where meaning was hard to find”.

Dr. Ken Newell, former moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, refers to this booklet as “a major contribution to the new season of reconciliation that is defrosting the divisions that have scarred our Island and pushed believers apart”.

The booklet only costs €2 and is available from the monastery shop, or by writing to The Secretary, Mount St. Alphonsus, South Circular Road, Limerick, or email the author at johnjoriordain@yahoo.ie
