VISIONARY JOHN CURRY
The primary purpose of the visit is to have the remains of
John Curry re-interred from Long Island to St. Patrick’s
old Cathedral, New York.
John Curry was the youngest person, who at five years
of age witnessed the Knock Apparition of 1879. Later in
life he, like many others at the time left Ireland for New
York where he remained living with the Little Sisters of
the Poor until his death in 1943.
The significance of the visit is two-fold in that it will
recognise John Curry’s place as a witness and native
of Knock and also pay tribute to others like him, the
“forgotten Irish” who faced the desolation of leaving
home never to return.
The remains of John Curry will be brought to St. Patrick's
Cathedral on Saturday 13th May where a special
requiem Mass will be celebrated. It is a great honour
bestowed by the Archbishop of New York for Knock
Shrine and for John Curry’s family to have his remains
transferred to the historic centre of the Irish.
