Great to see coverage in @Independent_ie of the New Cross erected on the grounds of St. Patrick’s Church, Rathvilly, which I blessed on Confirmation Day there, April 23rd last @KANDLEi @jmce51 @theway_ie @IrishCathNews share.google/9GwCfgSO9U3KtC…

St. Conleth (c. 450–519) was an Irish hermit, skilled metalworker, and companion of St. Brigid. He served her community at Kildare, crafting sacred vessels and guiding monks in this art. He later became the first Bishop of Kildare and was known for his holiness. He died around 519. Prayer: St. Conleth, pray for us to grow in faith and serve God with humility. @BishopDNulty @KANDLEi
