St Martin Magazine - St Martin Magazine - Jan 2025

In this issue

In November 2024 we had the great honour and joy of celebrating the rededication of the National Shrine of St Martin. Located in St Saviour’s Church in Dominick St., Dublin, it is depicted in a lovely photograph on the front cover of our January 2025 magazine. On page 24 our Editor, Fr Walsh gives us an account of the events that led up to the long-awaited day. As the New Year begins, we are also starting 3 new series which we hope our readers will enjoy. The first is titled Treasure Island and the writer Fr Conor McDonough OP will look at Ireland’s ancient monasteries, starting with Tallaght which may come as a surprise to some! Ray Hughes is exploring lesser-known Pilgrimage sites such as the Shrine of Divino Amore near Rome. Our Dominican Martyrs are being replaced by a series on the married saints, beginning with Mary and Joseph. To tie in with this, Fr Jonh Harris, the Dominican Provincial has a lovely article about the Holy Family. Patricia Hope is ringing in the new Year in Echoes and It Happened This Month looks at the Act of Union under which the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland came into force on 1 January 1801. Why not consider brightening up someone’s 2025 by gifting them the Saint Martin Magazine for the year!
