Tour Description
Cliffs Of Moher | Knock | Connemara | Dingle | Killarney | Glendalough | Dublin
The breathtaking beauty of Ireland will greet you as
a friend! Your Choir Pilgrimage will give you a special
glimpse of a glorious part of the world. A visit to Ireland
has a wonderful mix of history, ancient historical ruins,
stunning panoramic views, legendary castles and moats,
and the romantic and rugged regions of lakes and bogs.
You will be exposed to illuminated manuscripts, religious
ecclesiastical centers, arts and crafts, unpretentious
homes and villages. The Irish people will engage you
with their lively cheerful nature and unparalleled hospitality.
Integrate that spirit with liturgies/performances at Kylemore Abbey,
the Shrine of Knock, Galway Cathedral, St. Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney, and/or St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral or
one of the fine churches in Dublin. Take your discoveries
of this island paradise with you as memories to cherish.
