The friars at St. Patrick Friary have been led by the Lord to invest the lion-share of their time and energy into serving the youth in the neighborhood. Several times a week the friars open up the doors of their apostolic center to teach, pray, and spend time with their young neighbors. During the summer, this work is taken to a whole new level when the friars put on a multi-week camp for youth when they are out of school. The friars also have a vibrant ministry of prayer, leading small groups, preaching retreats, and responding to the sacramental needs of Limerick.
