Families are invited to come to Patrick’s Mysterious Adventure hosted by St Patrick’s Parish Church, Broughshane. Learn all about St Patrick and his adventurous life at this fantastic exhibition and interactive story trail.
The event will run from 14th – 17th March, 2018 and follows the success of a similar event held in Belfast Cathedral last year.
The event will compliment other activities going on in the village and surrounding area.
The exhibition and story trail is themed around the life of Ireland’s patron saint, Patrick. Live actors will re-enact the tale from Patrick’s capture by Irish pirates to his return to serve the people of Ireland that he loved so well.
Visitors will have the opportunity to connect with the life story of Saint Patrick, discover more about him and be inspired by his faith and faithfulness to God.
