Sir, – I read with some disappointment of the dwindling numbers at Lough Derg this summer ("Call for pilgrims to support ancient Lough Derg pilgrimage", August 27th).
I made my first trip to Lough Derg in June this year for a three-day pilgrimage. It was one of the most uplifting experiences I have ever had.
Parishes should really do more to promote Lough Derg and the unique experience it offers. And pilgrims should also make more efforts to share their experiences. – Yours, etc,
