The Marian shrine of Knock and St. Muredach’s Cathedral in County Mayo will both host U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday during his ongoing visit to Ireland.
Announcing Biden’s visit to Knock, rector of the shrine Fr. Richard Gibbons noted that sacraments will be suspended in the parish 24 hours before the president’s arrival. No sacraments have been available in St. Muredach’s Cathedral this week as preparations are made for the U.S. leader’s speech on a road in front of the west Ireland church.
“We are delighted to welcome President Joe Biden to Knock Shrine. This is a huge honour and will be the first visit of a US President to Knock Shrine,” Fr. Gibbons said. “We are delighted to have been included as part of the President’s personal visits to Mayo.”
Knock Shrine’s Fr. Gibbons did not respond to LifeSiteNews questions about whether his description of the visit as a “huge honour” does a disservice to the hundreds of thousands of unborn babies killed every year as a result of President Biden’s support for abortion, or whether clergy suspending public access to the sacraments can be surprised when laity similarly relegate the sacraments in their list of priorities.

All the best Irish came here
Amazing how far Ireland has gone from God.
Depressing..
Ireland is an obnoxious, fanatical leftist Hellhole. The Irish aren’t friends of the US; In fact, a great number of Irish hate Americans.
Ireland can die.
