The Monthly Latin Mass in Knock was an initiative of Archbishop Michael Neary and was established by him in 2011 in response to the pastoral needs of people wishing to worship according to the earlier liturgical norms. It is based on Summorum Pontificum of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and a stable congregation of 110-120 people has emerged. Knock is the only Major Marian Shrine in Europe to hold a regular Latin Mass.
The Mass will take place in the Parish Church of St John the Baptist at 5.30pm and will continue to take place on the second Sunday of each month throughout 2022.
