As Toibreacha an tSlánaithe, a CD of prayers, hymns, music and
scripture readings in the Irish language was officially launched by

ceremony held in the Poor Clare Monastery, Graiguecullen, Carlow. The CD contains a total of seven hymns in Irish and in Latin, and is a project of the Ciorcal Solanus group in Carlow set up in 2010 to promote devotion to Fr Solanus Casey OFM.
The CD was produced by the local Irish language organisation Glór Cheatharlach specially for this the Year of Faith, Bliain na Gaeilge and Gathering Ireland 2013.
Included in the line up are the familiar Irish prayers Ár nAthair and Sé Do Bheatha a Mhuire, and the Poor Clare Sisters sing Regina Caeli and Salve Regina.
