Saint Brendan's Celtic Community

Saint Brendan's is independent

Saint Brendan's is an independent interspiritual community that lives out a vision of nature-centered Celtic spirituality. We are an incorporated 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

We remain independent from any denominational affiliation so that we may be truly open to all. Regardless of a person's religious affiliation or lack thereof, he or she is welcome in our midst.

We do not seek to supplant any person's preferred approach to spiritual expression but rather enhance it by providing a safe place for spiritual exploration independent of specific requirements in regard to spiritual beliefs.

In the context of Saint Brendan's Celtic Community, all are free to question, explore, and develop a spirituality of their own without fear of being scorned by others in the community for their choices.

Saint Brendan's is dedicated to being a community where seekers are welcome to come and journey for as long as they desire, embrace their own freedom of thought, plumb the depths of their own consciousness, and develop a deeper and broader spirituality. You may come as you are, stay for as long as you need, and wear only such a label as you choose for yourself.

Hallowing (from the Saint Brendan's Liturgy)

Celebrant:         As we prepare for sacred encounter,
                        let us join together in hallowing
                        a time between times
                        and a place between places,
                        where spirit and flesh intersect
                        and divine and human embrace.

Celebrant:        Within this circle, all are welcome:
ALL:                 STRANGERS AND FRIENDS,
                        MALE AND FEMALE,
                        OLD AND YOUNG,
                        BELIEVERS AND SKEPTICS.

Celebrant:        Within this circle, paths unite:
ALL:                 ANCIENT AND MODERN,
                        MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL,
                        INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNAL,
                        HUMAN AND DIVINE.

Celebrant:        Within this circle, distinctions blur:
ALL:                 BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT,
                        BETWEEN THE NOW AND THE NOT YET,
                        BETWEEN EARTH AND HEAVEN,
                        BETWEEN THIS WORLD
                        AND THE OTHERWORLD.

Celebrant:        Within this circle, we invoke:
ALL:                 THE BLESSINGS OF THE CREATOR
                        UPON ALL OF CREATION.

Celebrant:        So let there be peace in the north,
ALL:                 AND PEACE IN THE SOUTH,
Celebrant:        peace in the west,
ALL:                 AND PEACE IN THE EAST,
Celebrant:        peace throughout the world,
ALL:                 AND PEACE IN EACH OF US.
