Mungret Abbey
From Fr. Walsh's History of the Irish Hierarchy:
St. Nessan, who died AD 552, was the disciple of St. Ailbe of Emly. Nessan was most probably the founder of Mungret monastery. He never attained in the church a higher dignity than that of deacon by which title he is constantly known, yet his reputation is so great that he is reckoned among the fathers of the Irish church. His festival was celebrated at Mungret on the 25th of July.
The monastery of the island called Ireland's Eye in the county of Dublin is said to have been founded by a St. Nessan. That isle originally called Inis faithlen obtained the name of Inis Mac Nessan from the sons of Nessan, who were revered there on the 15th of March. Their names are Dichull Munissa and Neslug.
A.D. 552 died the abbot St. Nessan. St. Manchin, called the first bishop of Limerick, is said to have been abbot of Mungret.
A.D. 760 died the abbot Ailill.
A.D. 820 and 834 the Danes devastated the abbey of Mungret.
A.D. 1102 the 5th of October, the blessed Mugron O'Moore, principal professor of divinity at Armagh and in all the west of Europe, died in this abbey.
A.D. 1107 this abbey was again sacked. The psalter of Cashel relates that this establishment had at one period six churches within its walls and contained, exclusively of scholars, 1500 religious, 500 of whom were learned preachers, 500 were psalmists, and the remaining 500 applied themselves to contemplation, works of charity, and other spiritual exercises.

National Latin Mass Pilgrimage to Knock 2015
The National Latin Mass Pilgrimage is a special event in Knock. Unique among Latin Mass pilgrimages around the Country, His Grace, the Archbishop of Tuam has designated this pilgrimage under his own authority and appointed a chaplain, Fr. John Loftus of the Diocese of Killala.
The organisation of the National Pilgrimage was undertaken by Our Lady's Catholic Heritage Association in co-ordination with the other Catholic Heritage Associations around the Country but all Latin Mass Communities, Chaplaincies, Associations and groups around the Country are invited to participate each year.
As usual, the main exercises of the pilgrimage took place in the old Parish Church of Knock, whish stood when the apparitions took place. The apparitions are uniquely Eucharistic in that the Blessed Sacrament was present in the form of the Lamb of God with Our Lady, St. Joseph and St. John, during the whole of the apparition. That may be the reason for the silence of the apparition and perhaps the key to it's central message, the importance of silence in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament - very appropriate for the Traditional Latin Mass.
There was a tremendous turn out from all parts of the Country for a Missa Cantata of Our Lady celebrated by Fr. Loftus. In keeping with the exercises of the official pilgrimages to the Shrine, the Missa Cantata was followed by the Stations of the Cross and the pilgrimage concluded with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Prayer for the Church in Ireland
God of our fathers,
renew us in the faith which is our life and salvation,
the hope which promises forgiveness and interior renewal,
the charity which purifies and opens our hearts
to love you, and in you, each of our brothers and sisters.
Lord Jesus Christ,renew us in the faith which is our life and salvation,
the hope which promises forgiveness and interior renewal,
the charity which purifies and opens our hearts
to love you, and in you, each of our brothers and sisters.
may the Church in Ireland renew her age-old commitment
to the education of our young people in the way of truth and goodness, holiness and generous service to society.
Holy Spirit, comforter, advocate and guide,
inspire a new springtime of holiness and apostolic zeal
for the Church in Ireland.
May our sorrow and our tears,
our sincere effort to redress past wrongs,
and our firm purpose of amendment
bear an abundant harvest of grace
for the deepening of the faith
in our families, parishes, schools and communities,
for the spiritual progress of Irish society,
and the growth of charity, justice, joy and peace
within the whole human family.
To you, Triune God,
confident in the loving protection of Mary,
Queen of Ireland, our Mother,
and of Saint Patrick, Saint Brigid and all the saints,
do we entrust ourselves, our children,
and the needs of the Church in Ireland.
Amen.
Pope Benedict XVI

Pilgrimage to Charleville, Co. Cork
It was the first occasion that our Association made a pilgrimage to the Diocese of Cloyne.
Charleville, as its name suggests, was a plantation town, founded by Roger Boyle, Lord Orrery in the year after the restoration of King Charles II. However, it is as the seed-bed of nationalist poets, prelates and patriots that Charleville is most famous. It was the birthplace of Seán Mac Domhnaill and Daniel Mannix. Éamon de Valera walked from the nearby townland of Bruree to school there each day.
The beautiful Church of the Holy Cross is only 110 years old. Canon Lebocq of the Institute of Christ the King, based in Limerick, was the celebrant of a wonderfully reverent Mass.

Latin Mass Pilgrimage to Armagh Cathedral
The Irish are very devoted to pilgrimage. In the Golden Age of Faith the Saints of Ireland undertook Peregrinatio Pro Christo to Heaven-knew-where to bring them the Catholic Faith. It is a startlingly rare thing to make a pilgrimage to Armagh, the seat of Saint Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, and his successor the Primate of All Ireland, and, in a sense, the spiritual heart and ecclesiastical capital of Ireland.
The present Cathedral, the National Cathedral, as Cardinal Logue called it, was built between 1840 and 1904, the medieval Cathedral having been confiscated during the 16th century. Historic images of the Cathedral can be seen here.
