MAY 2025 SERVICE SCHEDULE FOR SAINT PATRICK’S CHAPEL IN CLIFDEN, IRELAND
Our May 2025 Service Schedule will continue to rejoice in Pascaltide (Eastertide) which lasts for 50 days until Pentecost, which, as noted below, we will celebrate on 08.06 at Saint Colman’s Orthodox Church in Stradbally. For this festive season, we follow a special liturgical book known as the Pentecostarion, which translates to “Book of the Fifty Days.” On 06.05 we will also celebrate a Liturgy for the Feast of the Holy Glorious Great-martyr, Victory-bearer and Wonderworker George. Fr. Robert will be away on the weekend of the 17th and 18th, and so we will observe reader’s services instead. At the end of the month, 40 days after Pascha, a Divine Liturgy to celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord will take place early in the morning on Thursday 29.05.
You will tire of tormenting me sooner than I will tire of being tormented by you.

They shod him in iron sandals with red-hot nails, and then drove him back to the prison with whips. In the morning, they led him back to the interrogation, cheerful and with healed feet, and the emperor asked if he liked his shoes. The saint said that the sandals had been just his size.”
