"Ego Patricius, peccator rusticissimus".
"I, Patrick, a sinner and simple countryman".
With these words— an opening line not bettered until Jane Austen and Tom Wolfe— Patrick begins his story. And it is an odyssey of capture, slavery, escape and devotion to God which has rarely been bettered.
We invite you to undertake your own journey. Our tour is no church-led spiritual pilgrimage but a way of seeing what has happened to the land which fostered Patrick. As always, we offer the best of south and north, east and west, based upon many years of travelling, talking and listening. We want to show you the mad rush of modern Ireland— and let you hear the silence of the old land— Patrick's island. Our tour expert is Dr. Bob Curran, an expert in early Irish Christian history, mythology and folklore— and no better man for the job.
