Continuing the powerful legacy of Saint Patrick — who tells us in his Confessions that he rose one hundred times before dawn to pray — Christians of all traditions are gathering at 5:45am on Saint Patrick’s morning, 17th March, at his grave in Downpatrick.

Together, we will pray The Our Father/ Lord's Prayer one hundred times, asking God for peace and unity in Christ among all our peoples.

🙏 Everyone is welcome.

🤝 Please spread the word.

If you can’t travel to Downpatrick, why not bring the celebration to your own community?

Consider organising a local gathering at your St. Patrick’s Church, school, parish hall, well, or even your local football club. We’ll provide you with a simple event format, making it easy to host.

Let’s unite in prayer and fellowship across Ireland — and beyond — as one family inspired by the spirit of Saint Patrick.

Will you join us before dawn?
