Prayers have different meanings for people. Some look at them as a way of communicating with a higher power. Others use them for their peace and quiet while others see them as an essential part of a country’s history and literature.
We have to acknowledge that prayers have power over us, even if that power manifests in various ways. The Irish also have a strong connection with religion and prayers. That’s one of the reasons why we chose to make another Irish pronunciation video where we feature the “Glory be to the Father” prayer.
Also, we’re always asking our community about what type of content should we add to the Irish pronunciation videos. Prayers and poems were some of the most requested. Do you have other ideas? Use the comments section of this blog or contact us directly to share your feedback.

Thank you! My daughter is reciting Rosary prayers at Catholic school in state of Oregon, USA. Children were encouraged to say prayers in language of their heritage. I’m so proud that my red headed daughter wanted to learn how to pray in Gaelic! My Grammie immigrated to America in 1912. I remember her teaching me these prayers when I was very little. Thank you for these wonderful videos. Perfectly bite-sized and just what we needed to introduce my 11yr old. God bless!
Go raibh maith agat, a Suzanne. Eoin
