As a mark of respect to the late Pope Francis, the Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock, which had been due to take place this Saturday, April 26, has been cancelled. It was announced in Rome this morning that the Pope’s funeral will take place on Saturday morning and, in consultation with Archbishop Farrell and Fr Richard Gibbons, rector of Knock Shrine, it has been agreed that the pilgrimage should not take place at this time.

The canonisation of Blessed Carlo Acutis, previously scheduled for this Sunday, April 27, has been postponed by the Holy See. Consequently the Mass that had been scheduled for this Sunday afternoon in the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, City Quay, has also been cancelled.
