As the month of July approaches many people’s thoughts turn to holidays. In his Editorial Fr John Walsh suggests that we might consider a pilgrimage with all its spiritual benefits. It need not be an expensive place abroad, a quiet place or holy site in Ireland would serve just as well. Remember, our souls need a vacation too!
All our regular articles appear with one exception as Deirdre Anglim our dedicated gardening expert is retiring. She has been writing for the Saint Martin Magazine since 2005 when she took over from her father, Peter Hutchinson. On page 25 you will find her final contribution which is of a more personal nature. We are eternally grateful for all her work on our behalf, and we know she has inspired many readers and helped them to enjoy more fully their ‘own piece of heaven’. Thank you Deirdre and we wish you many happy days ahead.
The gardening section continues with a new writer, Frater Fiachra and under a different heading, The Cloister Garden. He has an introductory piece on page 28 which is followed by some interesting insights on Lavender.
We are looking for images of St Martin for possible publication on our Friends of Saint Martin page. See page 34 for further details.
We have two lovely Offers, one is dedicated to St Anthony and the other is a special Miscellaneous one which includes a beautiful plaque of that well-known and most comforting of Reflections, FOOTPRINTS. Don’t miss out!

St Martin Magazine Description:

St Martin Apostolate has published our monthly St. Martin Magazine in Ireland since 1952. A wonderful magazine for Catholics around the world. Our magazine is packed with articles to help develop your understanding of your faith.

Included are articles on all aspects of life, news and views on important world events, helpful tips and articles for life, home and the garden. In short, it is a worthwhile easy-to-read magazine that millions of readers have enjoyed over the past decades.

We publish the magazine to promote devotion to St. Martin, to encourage people in the practice of their faith and to generate funds for our mission of bringing the word of God to as many people as possible. We currently publish some 40,000 print copies every month - that's nearly half a million copies every year - and are excited about the reach of our digital version across the world - so please tell your friends and colleagues about its availability.
