The Rally included a youth conference, and a Prayer Vigil in the Basilica to bring in the feast of Pentecost. Hundreds of Rally-goers joined together to create a huge human rosary. Then on Sunday morning hundreds of Rally attendees climbed Croagh Patrick where noon Mass was celebrated at the summit.

Exorcist Monsignor Rosetti spoke to the crowds:
Exorcist tells Rosary Rally ‘Even Hell is a Mercy’ as Ten Thousand Gather in Knock for Peace
New York based Exorcist Monsignor Steve Rosetti was one of the guest speakers at the 40th Annual Rosary Rally in Knock.
Monsignor Steve Rossetti, a priest from Syracuse stressed how prayer can help us to overcome evil in the world, “God is by nature merciful; God cannot not be merciful; even hell is a mercy.”
“We see this in an exorcism. When we simply sprinkle a little holy water or hold up a crucifix the demons scream in agony. Could you imagine the incredible torment it would be for demons or the unclean damned to be thrust into the direct all-presence of our infinite holy God?
