In relation to this site, the Doras team say:

"Feeling the need to put St. Patrick's Parish, Donabate, on the global map Fr. Aquinas T. Duffy established a web presence. By combining his HTML skills and his vocation, he has created one of Ireland's most informative and innovative websites.
Not only do you discover information on the parish and its people, you also learn about St. Patrick and have the opportunity to partake in the country's only multimedia rosary. It is with great pleasure that Doras awards this week's Doras Abú to a site which is an inspiration to all.
