St. Brigid: (Feast on the 1st of February). She is a Secondary
Patron of Ireland but the proximity of Faughart to Dundalk makes her
a ´local´ saint in this area. Also associated with Kildare many stories
and legends have grown up around her life story. A very interesting
booklet by Fr. John J. Ó Riordáin C.Ss.R. - entitled Brigid of Ireland -
is available at reception for €3.00

Shrine, Faughart from Faughart Graveyard will take place on

St. Blaise: (3rd of February). He lived in the 4th century. Legend
has it that he cured a child who had a fish bone stuck in its throat
and from that the tradition of blessing throats on his feast day
developed. ´Through the intercession of St. Blaise, bishop and
martyr, may God deliver you from ailments of the throat and
from every other evil, In the name of the Father and of the son
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen´.
Catholic Schools Week (31st of January to 6th of February)
is an all-Ireland annual event. It is a celebration of Catholic

that Catholic primary and post-primary schools make not just to
Irish society, but to the mission of the Church. This year´s theme
is Catholic Schools: Challenged to Proclaim God’s Mercy”.
St. Joseph´s does not have responsibility for any schools but
we acknowledge the great work being done by the schools in
the town.

Praying with God´s Word
Every Thursday evening a group gathers in St. Joseph´s
Monastery at 8pm to reflect on God´s word. You are
welcome to join the group and share your reflection on
the passages that are read.
The Corporal Works of Mercy are to feed the
hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, to clothe the
naked, to welcome the stranger, to heal the sick, to
visit the imprisoned, to bury the dead.
