The 54th annual PILGRIMAGE TO OUR LADY OF KNOCK
Our Lady of Knock Shrine – The geographical location and panoramic setting of Mayo, Quebec is very close to the landscape of the original shrine in Knock, Ireland. The people of this municipality are descendants of the early Irish settlers from County Mayo. The story of the apparition and a devotion to Our Lady of Knock was brought to Eastern Canada as early as 1882. This devotion continues and is still evident today, not only in Ireland, but also at our annual pilgrimage and those who visit during the year. This year's guest celebrant will be Fr. Daniel Hawkins, Missionary of the Holy Family.
When: Sunday, August 10th, 2008.
