OLSE Knock

During my years of giving retreats to the senior students in our secondary schools, it became obvious that students had little knowledge of their faith and those who wanted to take their faith seriously found it difficult to meet with their peers, where their faith could be shared.

Over many years, the Lord led me to many different countries to reveal how a concrete response could be given. The idea that became most vivid was the idea of a school of Evangelisation where young adults could come together on a residential basis, share in community life, receive Catholic formation, and be empowered with the tools of Evangelisation. Finally the Lord led us to Knock where we were inspired to pitch our tent. Our Lady’s School of Evangelisation-Knock opened its doors to the first students on the 15th of September, 2006.

This school is proving to be a place of hope and healing where young people are growing in a personal relationship with Jesus, and I hoped that this school will lead many schools to sprout up throughout Ireland and perhaps beyond!
