In line with the county-wide 'Spirit of Brigid' festival, Monasterevin parish have organised a St Brigid camino walk during early February.
It is said that St Brigid was born in the townland of Umeras, just outside Monasterevin. For this reason, Monasterevin parish organised this walk in honour of Brigid.
The event is to take place on Monday 3 February starting at St Brigid’s Shrine at Mountrice on the Monasterevin to Rathangan Road at 11am.
A bus will leave the parish church in Monasterevin at 10.30am to Mountrice and return to Mountrice at 2pm.
All those participating will be issued with a special St Brigid Camino passport that will be stamped at St Peter and Paul Church. Car parking will also be available at Mountrice Cross for those driving up.
The walk will be led by the Bishop and will journey via Umeras then along Canal Blueway, finishing in St Peter and Paul Church in Monasterevin with a ‘Service of Light’ at 12.30pm.
