In February we honour St Brigid the patroness of Ireland and our cover shows a lovely statue of her situated in St Nicholas’ Church, Dundalk. Fr Conor McDonough traces the fascinating history of Dublin’s two famous Cathedrals, Christchurch and St Patrick’s. Ray Hughes in his first article on Lesser-Known Pilgrimage Sites takes us to the Rue de Bac, Paris where a series of Marian apparitions would lead to greater devotion to Mary’s Immaculate Conception and the medal that honours it. A first piece on Married Saints, begins with the most important couple, the parents of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. This month’s famous convert is Rhoda Wise who inspired Mother Angelica, founder of ETWN, the world’s largest Catholic television network. It Happened This Month pays tribute to the four chaplains of World War II, the ultimate heroes and The Cloister Garden celebrates the lily, the favourite flower of designer Christian Dior. In this edition we also begin another new series on The Angels a source of fascination to many but what do we really know about them? Our Special Offers feature a lovely selection of items dedicated to St Brigid, all of which are handcrafted in Ireland and would make lovely gifts.
