Information
About Knock
Welcome to Ireland's National Marian Shrine, which is located in
County Mayo on the West Coast of Ireland and the Western edge of Europe.
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
