st ita of kileedy

On this weeks podcast we get a small bit parochial to west Limerick and we repeat a segment we did back originally in Jan 2012 where Michael Keating tells us about St Ita of Kileedy who is one of the co-patron saints of the diocese of Limerick and is know as the Brigid of Munster and foster mother of the saints of Ireland. St Ita's feast day falls on 15th January.

As part of the celebrations just to note that Bishop Leahy offers Saint Ita Feast Day Mass for memory of the late Pontiff and he noted in his homily that "the example for the future of the Church can be drawn from both prophetic words of the late Pope Benedict from over 50 years ago and the lives of Saint Ita and Brigid over 1,500 years ago"

In addition to our piece on St Ita we also have our run through the liturgial odds and ends for the week and of course our reflection on the Sunday gospel.
