Our Lady’s Island

Our Lady’s Island is an ancient place of pilgrimage in the south east corner of Ireland in the diocese of Ferns. The site has been a place of pilgrimage for over 2000 years. Before Christianity, it was a place of gathering by Druids. The annual pilgrimage takes place from August 15th to September 8th each year, when believers come from all over Ireland to gather and pray. The island is located in Lady’s Island Lake and contains the ruins of an early Augustinian priory. The pilgrimage involves walking around the island in prayer and reflection.
