Schedule and updates for Saint Patrick Orthodox Church in Clifden, Ireland
God be merciful to us and bless us,
Psalm of David 67:1
And cause His face to shine upon us.
The Orthodox calendar integrates a tapestry of fasts, feasts, scripture readings, and hagiography. Some of these dates, such as Pascha (Easter), change from year to year, while others, such as Christmas, remain fixed. Unlike most Western practices, we continue to follow the Julian calendar. This means that most of our dates, including Christmas, fall 13 days after the same feast on the Western Calendar. An Orthodox lifestyle strives for daily observance of these cycles. Many online Orthodox calendars, such as this one, make such information easy to access. Meanwhile, our schedule and updates will be posted below.

We needed an Incarnate God, a God put to death, that we might live. We were put to death together with Him, that we might be cleansed; we rose again with Him because we were put to death with Him; we were glorified with Him, because we rose again with Him.
— St. Gregory the Theologian, Oration 45, 28
