I note the Annual EF Pilgrimage in Knock on the 6 September is now an official Shrine pilgrimage under the auspices of the archdiocese and the shrine authorities and that Archbishop Neary has appointed Father John Loftus (Killala Diocese) as chaplain to the pilgrimage. Though this will not make much difference to the conduct of the pilgrimage, it demonstrates how serious Archbishop Neary is about it to formalise its position in this way.

Attended the pilgrimage today. There was a decent enough turn-out (I would say the church was about half full, with a smaller number staying for Stations and Benediction) and the choir was good, but I DO wish they hadn't sung the Salve Regina DURING the Last Gospel. Sorry if this is a bit brusque. BTW there were a large number of Indians, including women in colourful traditional dress, at the Shrine. A few of them were at the EF Mass. There must have been some sort of organised pilgrimage, but I didn't find out if they were Latin Rite or Syro-Malabar Rite (who have a congregation in Dublin). I suspect the former as some of the distinctive Syro-Malabar ceremonial elements (such as the umbrellas) might have been visible if it was them.

There is a new priest on the Knock rota - Father Dáithi Ó Murchu, a curate in the Galway diocese who has been contributing to the Brandsma Review recently. Father John Loftus of the Killala diocese is in charge of the effort and he has been supported by Father Roland Colhoun of the Derry Diocese and Father Anthony Buckley of the Cork and Ross diocese in recent months. Another priest, Father Irenaeus Kuzmicki, a Polish priest based in the Elphin diocese has had to pull out because of other commitments (he also says the EF Mass in Sligo).

This year is unusual in Knock, not just because it is the 140th anniversary of the apparitions.
The Annual pilgrimage takes place on the first Saturday in September. This has happened, one year excepted, since 1990. The monthly Mass is on the second Sunday.
As the first Saturday in September this year is 7th, the pilgrimage and the monthly Mass are back to back. The pilgrimage begins with Mass at 2 pm in the old parish church on Saturday 7 September and the monthly Mass is in the same place the following day at 5.30 pm. This is 8th September, the Nativity of Our Lady. So any trads with a Marian devotion should get on to Airbnb and book a place in or near Knock this weekend.

Father Gerard Quirke, a priest of the Tuam Archdiocese, has just began a period of discernment with the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter. There is already one Irish priest in the FSSP, Father Patrick O'Donoghue, who was a priest of the Galway diocese beforehand.
