The Four Patrons of Ireland: St. Jarlath
Saint Jarlath of Tuam rarely makes the headlines of Irish history — yet without him, the spiritual map of Ireland would look very different.
A monk trained by the disciples of Patrick.
A teacher who shaped Brendan the Navigator.
A founder who built where a wheel broke — and changed a landscape forever.
Tuam did not begin as a town. It began as a sign.
In this episode, we uncover the story of a saint who didn’t seek fame, power, or glory — but whose quiet legacy still echoes through Ireland’s faith, identity, and memory.
Who was Jarlath?
Why did Brendan send him wandering in old age?
And what does it mean when a broken wheel becomes destiny?
Press play — and rediscover a forgotten founder.
