‘Pilgrims of Hope’ National Novena to Our Lady of Knock 2025 In this special Jubilee Year, the theme of the National Novena to Our Lady of Knock is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. Hope is at the very heart of the Knock Apparition, and throughout this year’s Novena, we will explore how hope can shine through in the most unexpected places. Each day, inspiring guest speakers will reflect on how hope has revealed itself in their lives and work. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in workshops that explore the daily theme more deeply, and guided prayer sessions will provide moments of quiet reflection, helping us to journey together in faith, prayer, and hope. We warmly welcome you to join us at Knock Shrine for this special time of grace, reflection, and renewal from August 13th to 21st. Fr. Richard, Director of Knock Shrine Meath Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock Sunday 10th August: 2 pm Rosary; 2.30 pm Anointing of the Sick at the Basilica; 3 pm Concelebrated Mass followed by Benediction and Rosary Procession.
