Sheep herding along the road to Dingle, Co. Kerry
(Notice the sheep dog)

From 19 July until 28 July, 1999, Bishop Paul Dudley (retired from Sioux Falls, S.D.), Father Richard Davis TOR, and Maureen Kight SOF guided a group of 46 American pilgrims through an in-situ review of the religious, cultural and historical venues of Ireland and the Irish folk. The guidance and inspiration provided during that journey was not unlike that afforded by the good shepherds of Celtic and Irish descent who today tend their sheep just as they have for the past two millenia. This website is dedicated to the preservation of the essence of that experience; may the inspiration provided during that pilgrimage be lived by each participant and shared with family and friends for years to come.
