Wherever you are in the world, I am glad you have found your way to Derry and Raphoe. We trust that what you find here will make you want to stay a while – and come back again later.

These historic dioceses, in the beautiful north west of Ireland, have a rich missionary heritage. St Columba was born here and set out from here to establish his remarkably influential community on Iona.

In this generation we too want to be faithful to that same missionary calling – which looks outwards and seeks to offer God’s love and compassion. Our desire is to be a transforming community, radiating Christ – wherever he calls us.
