THE Spirit of Brigid festival this year was a hit, hosting many brilliant events in Kildare and inviting those outside the county to join in on the fun too.

One of the many events this February was St Brigid’s camino walk, which took place on Monday 3 February. Hundreds of people from Monasterevin parish and other parishes attended and were issued special St Brigid Camino passports before their walk.
Walkers on their Way
It started at Umeras and the walk proceeded along the Canal Blueway for 6kms. Thankfully, St Brigid kept the rain away, so walkers could enjoy the experience.
Bishop Denis Nulty and ome of the Walkers
Bishop Denis Nulty led the walk which ended back at St Peter and Paul’s church where the walkers got to enjoy a ‘Service of Light’.

Refreshments were served to everyone on their return from the walk and Morrissey School of Irish Dancing provided the crowd with brilliant entertainment.
