New mural of Our Lady of Knock set to be unveiled in New York

A new mural of Our Lady of Knock is set to be created in St Patrick’s Cathedral New York, the Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan has announced.

The news was revealed by the cardinal after singer-songwriter Dana sang the hymn Our Lady of Knock at the St Patrick’s Day parade Mass over the weekend.

“Dana,” he said before a congregation of thousands. “This is the first time I have announced this. By next year, please God, due to the generosity of the people in this congregation, on that back wall, we will have a mural of Our Lady of Knock who appeared the very first year this cathedral opened. And on the opposite wall a mural to the immigrants who have come to this great city so mark your calendar, we would love to have you next year.”
