Bishops set to discuss House of Prayer

Irish bishops are set to discuss controversial Achill House of Prayer founder Christina Gallagher at a meeting next week, The Irish Catholic understands. 

It is understood that the bishops, who will gather at Maynooth next week for this year’s autumn General Meeting, have been sent a briefing document on the movement behind the self-proclaimed visionary.

Christina Gallagher founded the House of Prayer on Achill Island, in Co Mayo, in 1993. 

According to reports, at the end of 2012, the centre was sitting on accumulated profits of €1.66m. 

The Catholic Communications Office declined to comment on the issue.
