20. Sister Rita Minehan: Who Was Saint Brigid?

This is the second episode in a series celebrating Saint Brigid of Kildare
- one of our three patron Saints, with the other two being Patrick and
Colmcille.This week is all about the 1500th anniversary of Saint Brigid and
we thought it would be a good idea to chat with someone who has a good
grasp of the facts of what the lady, Brigid of Kildare was all about.

In the previous episode Fender was talking with Paula O’Brien who works for
Kildare County Councila and she mentioned that “Sister Rita” really knows a
lot about Saint Brigid. So it was a no brainer for me to go to the
religious centre of Ireland when it comes to our only female patron saint.
