On the last weekend of May, the Director of the Militia of the Immaculatæ, Fr. Karl Stehlin visited the Irish chapels in Athlone, Dublin, Newry and Belfast. In each of these cities, after the Holy Mass, the faithful were able to listen to a conference on the M.I. Father Stehlin, as always, encouraged each listener to consecrate themselves to Mary Immaculate, and thus work on their own sanctification and on spreading the honour of Mary Immaculate, as well as working for the salvation of the souls of our neighbours.

The conferences and meetings were a good opportunity to purchase materials prepared and sent by the M.I. Poland: English and Polish books, booklets and flyers.

The faithful eagerly obtained these publications to be able to zealously spread devotion to Mary Immaculate among the people they met, as The little sparks from the M.I. Worldwide well as among their acquaintances, friends, and family. Everyone had the opportunity to talk to Fr. Stehlin, and above all to ask questions after the conference.

In Newry, Fr. Stehlin visited the place called “Mass Rock”, where Mass is celebrated every year on the 15th of August, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This place is very important in the history of Irish Catholics, because during the Protestant persecutions, Mass was celebrated in such places (on the photo beside). The Irish faithful hope that the visit of Fr. Stehlin and his conferences imbued with love for Mary Immaculate will result in a greater number of Knights — self-sacrificing souls who want to dedicate themselves to the service of Mary Immaculate.
