Our Ministry
Following in the footsteps of St Francis, the Friars at Knock offer a number of ways to encounter God's mercy and grace. All are welcome, whatever stage of the journey you are on.
Confession
We, as Friars of Mercy, assist with the Sacrament of Reconciliation as part of the Ministries of Knock Shrine. You will be received with compassion and God's mercy.
Spiritual Direction
For those seeking to grow closer to God, one of our Friars is available for ongoing spiritual direction and guidance, by appointment.
Retreats
We welcome individuals and groups for guided or private retreats, offering a quiet space to pray, rest and listen away from the noise of daily life.
Pastoral Support
Whether you are grieving, celebrating, or simply need someone to listen, the Friars are available to offer pastoral care and a listening ear.
