ST ERECLACIUS, PRIEST

  WELCOME! SAINT ERECLACIUS, PRIEST ⬅️ Litany of the Irish Saints Ereclacius, a 5th century native priest of Ireland, assisted his mentor, the famed Apostle of Ireland, Saint Patrick , in his missionary journeys through the Irish region of Ulster. Patrick  appointed Saint Ereclacius pastor of the church of Rathmoain (Ramoan), in County Antrim. "I arise today Through the strength of heaven; Light of the sun, Splendour of fire, Speed of lightning, Swiftness of the wind, Depth of the sea, Stability of the earth, Firmness of the rock." ~ St Patrick’s 'Fourth Lorica' ~ PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Ereclacius may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. ➡️ Irish Confessors and Martyrs
