Our Knock Shrine Fraternity celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of priestly service to the Capuchin Order and the Church of Br. Matthew Clerkin who hails from Co. Monaghan and who spent most of his Capuchin life working in New Zealand. Br. Matthew is now Guardian of the New Fraternity of Witness in Knock. We were delighted to be joined by Fr. Richard Gibbons Parish Priest of Knock who wanted to express his good wishes to Br. Matthew for his humble and generous service to the pilgrims who visit this beautiful Shrine every day. Ad Moltus Annos Br. Matthew.
