St. Columbanus Events
The 7th of December 2021 marks the 1500th anniversary of the birth of Saint Colmcille/Columba at Gartan in Co Donegal.
The Colmcille 1500 Committee of the Raphoe Diocese is cooperating with others in Counties Donegal and Derry in creating a database of all institutions linked to the Saint.
