St. Patrick:
Before the arrival of St. Patrick, the 21st
June was a big pagan festival and it
was celebrated in style in our county because
the second shrine of significance in
all of Ireland was at Magh Sleacht which means
"the plain of prostrations" and
was in the parish of Templeport. At this time
our pagan forefathers assumed the
Gods to be revealed in the sun, moon and stars,
and the anger of these Gods
occasionally manifested in thunder and lighting
and this God, the God of thunder
was Crom cruach and celebrations began on the
summer solstice June 21st coming
to a high point in the first days of August
(Lughnasa). Unfortunately for some,
human sacrifices were offered to Crom, adults
and children. When St. Patrick
had broken the power of the "Druids"
at Tara the principal pagan shrine he
destroyed the shrine of Crom putting an end to
the barbaric practice of human
sacrifice.

Hymn
“Peace is Flowing”.
Peace is flowing like a river; His Love is flowing like a
river,
Flowing out through you and me, Flowing
out through you and me,
Flowing out into the desert, Flowing out into the
desert,
Setting all the captives free. Setting all the captives free.
Offertory:
Be still for the presence of the Lord. Be still for the glory of the Lord
The Holy One is here. Is shining all
around.
Come bow before Him now He burns with holy fire.
With reverence and fear. With
splendor he is crowned.
In him no sin is found. How awesome is the
sight.
We stand on holy ground. Our radiant King of
light.
Be still for the presence of the Lord Be still the glory of the Lord
The Holy one is here Is
shining all around..

it, and be glad in it.
