St Patrick’s Day celebrations – Burtonport
Come and join us on St Patrick’s Day 12 – 2 in St Columba’s community centre, Acres, Burtonport, for our annual celebration of Irish culture. Entertainment is free and includes marching bands, trad music and dancing, games, tea/coffee and stew etc… Any donations and takings on the day will go towards the LIFE BOAT FUND and the LOCAL SUMMER FESTIVAL FUND.
This event is a bring and share event which means that we would encourage you all to bring along a tray of sandwiches, packet of biscuits/buns or some traditional baking, to share with others over a cup of tea and some craic. In past years we have run out of food so we need as many donations of food as we can get. Donations of gifts which can be used as prizes are also welcome prior to the day
We would also appreciate help setting up the evening before. We will be at the community centre from 8.00 on 16 March if you can help with the set up or if you’d like to drop in some baking. Looking forward to seeing you. Thanks.

Ring for Renewal
We are asking people all around Ireland and the world to “Ring for Renewal” on St. Patrick’s Day (17th March). This is an invitation to pause on the journey of life, to withdraw from busyness for a moment, to reflect on how we can renew as people and as members of the Church as we prepare for the International Eucharistic Congress.
What bells will be ringing that day?
Chapel Bells will ring this day after masses.
We also invite the faithful at home to pause and reflect as they ring a bell at any time of the day.
Ringtones of the Eucharistic Congress Bell chiming are available to download on mobile phones from the Congress website for those who wish to.
