Irish Pilgrim – When The Saints Go Marching

About This Event

Why would a Northern Irish Protestant, raised in a staunchly loyalist community, hitchhike through Catholic Europe on the trail of medieval celtic monks?

What role did an Irishman play in the creation of the European Union, and how do we break down walls and bring people together today?

Who was Columbanus of Bangor and why are present day librarians from all over the world indebted to him? Why does God not like Zebras, has Murphy’s Law anything to do with chaos theory, and why are the Germans the reason Ireland had to wait 1,900 years to get decent roads?

Join us on the European travels of sixth-century saint, Columbanus (Leinster), and twenty-first century sinner, Barry Sloan (Carrickfergus).

With humorous and inspiring stories from his book, sprinkled with a few of his delightfully thought-provoking songs, Barry will show us a God who crosses every border to reach people with love.
