Thirty-five members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians Father Kelley Division and their families attended the 9:30 a.m. Mass at All Saints on August 18 to commemorate the apparition of Our Lady of Knock.
After the Mass, about 30 of the group walked over to the George Brent Knights of Columbus building for a covered breakfast of food brought by members.
This annual showing of fellowship is our way of recognizing the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ireland on Aug. 21, 1879.
On that rainy evening, 15 people saw a two-hour vision of Our Lady on the roof of St. John the Baptist Church in the humble village of Knock in County Mayo.
