What To Expect

National Shrine of Our Lady of Knock

Visit the exact location where, on 21 August 1879, fifteen villagers witnessed an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and Saint John the Evangelist. The chapel houses a Carrara marble tableau depicting this event, offering a tranquil space for prayer and contemplation. Explore the 100-acre grounds at your own pace with an audio guide. Trigger posts throughout the site provide commentary on key locations, enhancing your understanding of the Shrine's significance. Delve into the compelling story of the 1879 apparition and the development of the Shrine. The museum features exhibits on the 15 witnesses and a historical model of Knock village as it was on the day of the apparition. Stroll through beautifully landscaped gardens and serene pathways, ideal for meditation and reflection. The grounds also feature outdoor Stations of the Cross and the towering Papal Cross, commemorating Pope John Paul II's 1979 visit.
