the irish descent might be calling you if:

• You are distressed by all the drinking happening around you, especially as you notice that for people of many other cultural backgrounds, the prevalence of alcohol is not an organizing principle of their lives.

• You deeply long for a connection to God but have been left wounded and jaded by your experiences with the Catholic Church you grew up with.

• You harbor a deep, amorphous sense of grief and dislocation that no amount of relational, material, or career satisfaction has ever eased.

• You know in your soul that the words on this page stir something in you, even if you don’t understand what it means yet.
