Opus Dei

A new podcast and book have been released titled, “Encounters: Finding God in all walks of life.”

It all started with a telephone call from Mike, a friend and fellow member of our Small Christian Community (SCC) on Thursday 30th May 2024 just before midday. An SCC is a small group of Catholics from the same parish who pray and discuss Bible passages together.

The Feast of Our Lady of Knock on August 17th celebrates the Marian apparition at Knock, Ireland, which occurred on August 21, 1879.

Pope Francis elevated the Knock Shrine to an “International Shrine of Special Eucharistic and Marian Devotion” in 2021, emphasising its significance.
