Saint Brigid of
Kildare is the neglected Saint of Ireland. Despite
being a contemporary of St. Patrick- He gets all of
the attention and celebration. Brigid was quite
important in her own time. Brigid is a great role
model for children. A strong woman, she was made a
bishop, founded and managed the monastery of Kildare
(The Church of the Oak). She was well known for her
work helping people. Brigid cured them of their
illnesses, settled disputes and helped their cows to
produce. She is famous for helping with livestock in
particular with cows and with ale. So move over St.
Patrick Brigid's on her way. Our publications
are the most complete all-in-one sources available.
