February — the month of Brigid in Kilcullen

In Kilcullen we’ve always known and celebrated Brigid, writes Julie O'Donoghue. St Brigid’s Well. The Church of the Sacred Heart and St Brigid. Scoil Bhríde. St Bridget’s Pitch & Putt Club. Even St Brigid’s Tennis Club and The Sons of Brigid GAA team.

In 2023 Brigid is stepping into the national limelight. To mark this celebration we have organised Brigid-themed events for the coming year. And members of the community are also invited to organise events which we will include in our Brigid 1500 calendar. Below are the events organised locally so far.
