Dia Dhuit!

So I am in Éire! I'm really excited. I got here around 8 this morning and have been very busy since, I've already seen most of what I wanted to see! The easiest way to get around here is by bus which I am not used to. I much prefer cars and trains but I'm getting better at it.
If you know me than you know it makes perfect sense that the first thing I did after finding where I am staying was find the closest Catholic Church. I went in just to say hi and then I said a rosary and right after I finished that there was a Mass so I really lucked out. In contrast to all the churches I've been visiting in England, this one is post-Vatican II and very much a product of what I believe is the 70s (sometimes architecture is a little off based on what country you're in). It actually felt very homey since no American churches are gothic and the neo-Gothic ones are not too common either. Personally I spend most of my time in more romanesque churches but this church reminded me of the church I was baptised in. Not traditional but lovely all the same.

Here is a photo of the church - the stained glass is lovely - very similar to Christ the King in Omaha. As you can see it was overcast all day and way colder than I expected - however it did not start to rain until I was putting the key card into the door - St. Bridget must be watching out for me on her feast day (the priest certainly had something to say about that- St. Bridget might be the patron of Europe but St. Brigid is the patron of Ireland!).
