Welcome to the Parish of Bright
You are warmly welcome to the Parish of Bright website. As the late John McGrath in his booklet ‘The Parish of Bright: A History’ says,
“The Parish of Bright, like the parishes of the Lecale, can trace its history back to the very earliest days of Christianity in Ireland. The rolling hills of Bright are undoubtedly very much the same today as they were more than 1,500 years ago, when St. Patrick landed at Saul, only a few miles distant.”
We even have our own local saint, Loarn!
“St Loarn, who was Bishop of Bright, was honoured in the Irish Celtic Church with a feast on 11th September” (J McGrath).
We are blessed to belong to such a history of faith and practice that continues to this day amidst the challenges of our present age. Let us pray that together we will keep the flame of faith burning brightly into the coming decades and future centuries.
