Patrick's Peak: An Irish Pilgrimage

Grab your walking stick and join host Bob Dolan for two prayerful, peaceful, historical pilgrimages on Ireland's scenic west coast. The first begins at 800-year-old Ballintubber Abbey, where mass has been celebrated every day since its founding. The second begins at the foot of famous Croagh Patrick, whose ascent is known as one of the world's best but most rigorous of treks. St. Patrick climbed the Reek, as the locals call it, to ask God's blessing on his work to establish the Catholic Church in Ireland.
