Pilgrims flock to House of Prayer
Since it opened in 1993, the house in Co Mayo has attracted 10,000 visitors annually, anxious to hear the message of its founder. Christina Gallagher claims to have the stigmata wounds of Christ on her feet and to have received divine messages from Our Lady.
There were fears that Mayo County Council would not allow the special prayer service to go ahead due to a lack of planning permission. The House of Prayer said there had been an oversight but that the problem had been sorted out. Another special prayer service will be held next week on July 25.
