Celtic Spirituality in Ireland with Heartland Presbytery

SEPTEMBER 24 – OCTOBER 4, 2025

ABOUT

This eleven-day pilgrimage provides an opportunity to explore Celtic Spirituality and presence across Ireland. Highlights include visits to Kildare and Glendalough, associated with St. Bhride (Brigid) and St. Kevin, respectively. Traveling north, pilgrims will visit Fourknocks, an ancient passage tomb, and the Hill of Tara before arriving in the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, Armagh. There we’ll visit pre-Christian sites of worship at Navan Fort and the dual cathedrals of Armagh, one Roman Catholic and the other Church of Ireland. From Armagh, we travel to the Antrim Coast to visit the Giant’s Causeway and Bushmills, while also spending time in retreat and reflection at the intentional community of Corrymeela. Our last two nights are in Dublin, where we’ll learn more about early Irish Christianity through illuminated manuscripts at Trinity College Dublin (The Book of Kells) and the Chester Beatty Library. The itinerary may be adjusted according to site access and guide availability.
