🌿 The Sacred Radiance of St. Mary’s Cathedral 🌿

Imagine standing in a space where the air feels heavy with history and every beam of light tells a story. ✨

In June 2026, we are heading into the heart of County Kerry to visit St. Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney. This isn't just a church; it is Augustus Welby Pugin’s "three-quarter scale" masterpiece, modeled after England’s Salisbury Cathedral.

What makes this stop so special?

📍 Living Art: Pugin didn't just build walls; he designed a vessel for light. We will watch as filtered sunlight dances through the massive windows, transforming the stone into a glowing sanctuary.
📍 A Family Legacy: We will be joined by Dr. Michael Earley. As a descendant of the legendary Earley Studios artists, he brings a deeply personal perspective to the very glass his family crafted g2enerations ago.
📍 The Journey Continues: From the "Pugin Trail" in the South-East to the native genius of Loughrea Cathedral and the iconic Harry Clarke windows in Cork, this is the ultimate pilgrimage for lovers of the Celtic Revival.

We still have a few seats left for this intimate, small-group experience. Think of it as a moving conversation about art, enjoyed over incredible Irish meals and nights in luxurious hotels. 🥂🛌
