Welcome to Our Lady of Knock class page!
Autumn- 2025
A warm welcome to our class page where you will be able to find out what we will be learning each term, pictures of what we have been doing and key information we would like to share.
Our Class Saint
Our class Saint is Our Lady of Knock, who appeared in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1879. Witnesses saw Mary, the Mother of Jesus, appear alongside St Joseph and St John the Evangelist at the gable wall of the village church. The people prayed together in silence as they experienced this beautiful vision.
Our Lady of Knock is remembered as the Queen of Ireland and is a symbol of peace, faith, and hope. She inspires us to pray, to care for one another, and to trust in God even in difficult times.
As a class, we look to Our Lady of Knock to help us grow in faith and kindness each day.
“Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland, pray for us.”
Parents, please do feel free always to message me on Dojo if you have any queries, or to catch me at pick up.
