Summer Newsletter 2022

Summer Greetings from Solas Bhríde as we approach the start of a years celebration to mark our 30 Year ministry in Kildare Town.
The journey of Solas Bhríde commenced with the arrival of two Brigidine Sisters, Mary Minehan and Phil O’Shea on 22nd August, 1992 to further explore the spiritual and cultural heritage of their patroness, St. Brigid of Kildare. The challenge was to focus on developing Brigidine spirituality and reclaiming St. Brigid in a new way for a new millenium. Where else would you go, except to the heartland of St. Brigid to forge new pathways and respond to new and emerging needs. It was a whole new adventure, with a sense of excitement and anticipation as they journeyed into the unknown. A very warm welcome was extended to them by the people of Kildare.

A year of celebration to mark the past thirty years will commence on 22nd August 2022 and conclude on 22nd August 2023. A series of events are being planned to mark those thirty years. Our first public event is an open invitation to all to 'drop-in' for a cup of tea and a chat on Thursday 15th September and we will be delighted to welcome you to Solas Bhríde.

There will further sharing from the archives in the coming weeks and a full programme of events will be posted on our website www.solasbhride.ie

Join us, in Solas Bhríde on Culture Night as we honour the wisdom of our ancestors and celebrate our culture through music, poetry and ritual. In our celebration we will give thanks for the harvest and prepare ourselves for the brilliant beauty of letting go. This is a free event but booking is essential.
