This weekend, we look forward to welcoming pilgrims from our neighbouring diocese of Killala for their annual pilgrimage to Knock Shrine. Covering North Mayo and West Sligo, the diocese has 22 parishes and extends over 100 miles. This area of the country boasts some of the most spectacular coastlines in the West of Ireland that include landmarks such as Aughris Head in West Sligo, Dun Briste at Ballycastle and the stunning Erris peninsula. Throughout the Diocese are the remains of many ancient monasteries and abbeys, including Moyne Abbey and the Round Tour in Killala village itself. The area is also renowned for the Ceide Fields. The stone-walled fields, extending over hundreds of hectares, are the oldest known globally, dating back almost 6,000 years. They are covered by a natural blanket bog with its own unique vegetation and wildlife.
