Episode Details

Naoimh Barbieri sits down with Fr. Pat Lombard of St. Anne’s Parish in Sligo, whom local young people have taken to calling a legend. Fr. Pat shares a warm and candid account of his journey from growing up in Boyle, County Roscommon, to working as a banker in Monaghan and Dublin through the late 1970s and 80s, to the slow stirring of a vocation that finally led him to Maynooth and ordination in 2000. He speaks about his monthly stewarding at Knock Shrine, which he credits as part of Our Lady’s work on him, his years at Sligo Cathedral, and his current parish where the family spirit built by his predecessor still shapes everything. The episode closes with the story of how St. Anne’s came to receive a First Class Relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, now drawing visitors every day from across Ireland.
