A group of fellows and members of Sion College visited Ireland in October 2026. The group stayed at Corrymeela in the North and at Maynooth Seminary in the South.

The visit was a chance to explore in depth the recent history of peacemaking in Ireland, with a number of talks and visits on this theme, as well as to understand the general recent history of the Christian churches in both North and South and some of the challenges facing them.

Visits to Corrymeela itself, to Kildare and Dublin and places in between gave the group insights into faith and spirituality and into how this has affected political and social attitudes.

Alongside these visits, there was time also to explore other cultural and natural highlights, such as Giant’s Causeway and the Bushmills Distillery.
