Rectors and representatives of the National Marian Shrines of Europe.
Knock Shrine this week welcomed rectors and representatives of the National Marian Shrines of Europe for their annual meeting from October 21 to 24.
The European Marian Network, established in 2003, links 20 major Marian Shrines across Europe - each representing its nation’s most significant place of devotion to Our Lady. The network is set to promote collaboration and mutual support in welcoming pilgrims and Marian devotion.
“It was a great joy and privilege for Knock to host our colleagues from Marian Shrines across Europe. This gathering reminds us that while our Shrines are rooted in different places and cultures, we share the same call — to welcome pilgrims, to pray with them, and to offer a message of hope and peace inspired by Our Lady,” said Fr Richard Gibbons, Rector of Knock Shrine.
Over the four-day event, delegates discussed the pastoral needs of pilgrims, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities facing Shrines today, and exploring new ways to offer mutual support across Europe.
