C&SI - Knock Novena 2025 Series - "By a lonely prison wall" - 24 Aug 2025 (S05 E37b) (podcast excerpt)

On this weeks podcast/radio programme excerpt we are beginning our 2025 series of sharing the daily talks from the National Novena to Our Lady of Knock 2025. The first talk we are sharing this week is "By a lonely prison wall" which was given by Ita Lohan on 15th August.  In this special Jubilee Year, the theme of the National Novena to Our Lady of Knock (August 13th to 22nd) was Pilgrims of Hope. Hope is at the very heart of the Knock Apparition, and throughout this year’s Novena, various speakers explored how hope can shine through in the most unexpected places.This weeks talk that we are sharing is from Ita Lohan who is a prison chaplain. After working for 5 years in Bath and then London with people who were homeless and active in addiction, Ita Lohan moved back to Ireland in November 2004. On her return she studied Theology and the Catechism of the Catholic Church which lead her to her work as a chaplain, firstly in Castlerea prison and currently  in Loughan House open centre.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
