“As every pilgrim leaves the Shrine, they carry with them a part of the experience of their personal journey and in this, every visitor to the Shrine is forever represented in these windows”.

Artist Róisín de Buitléar describes her stunning glass work at Knock Basilica.

This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Church of Our Lady, Queen of Ireland, which was elevated to the status of Basilica by Pope John Paul II during his visit in 1979.
