Our Patrons
The heavenly protectors of our apostolates
Under Their Protection
Each of our apostolates is placed under the patronage of a beloved devotion of the Catholic faith.
Immaculate Heart of Mary
Patroness of Belfast
The devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was promoted by the Blessed Virgin herself at Fatima in 1917. Our church in Belfast is dedicated to this devotion, reminding the faithful of Our Lady's maternal love and her desire for the conversion of sinners and the consecration of the world to her Immaculate Heart.
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Patron of Limerick
The Sacred Heart devotion, revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century, expresses Christ's infinite love for humanity. The Sacred Heart Church in Limerick stands as a monument to this devotion, where the faithful gather to adore Our Lord in the beauty of the traditional liturgy and make reparation for the offences committed against His Sacred Heart.
Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary
Patroness of Ardee
The Sisters Adorers in Ardee are dedicated to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary. Through their contemplative life of prayer, Gregorian chant, and sacred embroidery, they intercede for the Church and the world, following the example of Our Lady's fiat — her perfect obedience to the will of God.
