Saul Church and the Prayer Pilgrimage 2024

Saturday 16 March and our St Patrick’s Day Festival began in Saul with a service of Holy Communion where we had a full church plus a hardy outdoor congregation. Thank you Canon Bill Press, Rector of Knockbreda Parish, for preaching on Hebrews 5:9 and reminding us that Patrick’s mission has become our mission. A large band of pilgrims set out from Saul in dry weather and stayed with us through heavy rain to pray for revival in our land. We were led by Pastor David Legge who guided us using the words of Psalm 24.
