Welcome to Lough Derg
Part of our Celtic heritage and renowned throughout Europe since the Middle Ages, Lough Derg is a unique place of peace. In today's modern world - where everything is fast and instant - Lough Derg still manages to maintain a pace where people have to move more slowly, where the mind can be stilled. This small island offers no distractions, no artificialities, but instead a warm welcome, for there are no strangers here.
If you are seeking an opportunity for calm, for renewal or growth, then this ancient Sanctuary of St. Patrick might well be the place. We invite you to become part of what has been an Irish tradition since the sixth century.
The Lough Derg Pilgrimage Season extends between April and September each year with a varied programme of Day Retreats, workshops, faith-based seminars, family events and the traditional Three-Day Pilgrimage, reputed to be the most challenging in the Christian World.
Our biggest and brightest Season Guide yet has just landed and is packed with exciting news and information that will help you plan your 2012 Pilgrimage or Retreat. Find out more now
Keep up with Deborah as she continues her training programme for the 2012 London Marathon. Deborah will be posting a regular blog and would appreciated any words of encouragement and support that you can offer. Find out how Deborah's training is coming along now.

We are currently in the process of restructuring our online donation form but until then please mark donations for the attention of Deborah and post to St Patrick's Purgatory, Lough Derg, Pettigo, Co.
