Journey to Ireland for a truly authentic Catholic pilgrimage and explore the strong historic resonance of "the Land of Saints and Scholars."
Encounter our Lord through the beauty of the Irish countryside, the hundreds of ruined castles and abbeys, the spiritual bouquet found in the many churches including Knock Shrine, and of course through the joy of Irish music, food, and drink!
Following a delicious Irish breakfast, we will take a short walk to the Killarney Franciscan Friary (OFM) for Mass. Following Mass, we will board our motorcoach and begin the scenic journey around the famous Ring of Kerry. Some of our stops will include the Kerry Bog Village Museum (optional entrance at additional cost) and the Red Fox Inn, Cahersiveen and the Daniel O'Connell Memorial Church, Waterville (Charlie Chaplain's favorite holiday village), lunch at the Scarriff Inn, the charming village of Sneem, Moll's Gap & Ladies' View, and the Killarney National Park. We return to Killarney for a second night of local food, drink, and music! Dinner on our own. Overnight in Killarney. (B)
