Over 150 000 pilgrims are expected to visit Ireland's National Marian Shrine located in County Mayo on the West Coast of Ireland. The National Solemn Novena at Knock Shrine will be held on 14 - 22 August 2008

The Story of Knock began on the 21st August 1879 when Our Lady, St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist appeared at the south gable of Knock Parish Church. The apparition was witnessed by fifteen people, young and old. From this miraculous occurrence Knock has grown to the status of an internationally recognised Marian Shrine.
The personal pilgrimage of Pope John Paul II in 1979, commemorating the centenary of the apparition, inspired an even greater devotion to the Shrine and endorsed the indelible seal of Vatican approval. Mother Teresa of Calcutta visited the Shrine in June of 1993. One and a half million pilgrims visit the Shrine annually.


For further information contact the Knock Shrine Office on 094 9388100 or visit the Knock Shrine website at http://www.knock-shrine.ie.
