Pictures from the past

Brother Barry and Brother Bernhard-Maria, a member of the German Alexian community, during the General Chapter in Kleve, Germany, in May 2016.

Saint Alexius (right) in the company of St Rocus, St Sebestien and St Pirminius, mosaic. The painting on the façade of the church in Innsbruck, Austria, dates from the early 17th century. The church was erected to stop the plague epidemic in the city, which is why St. Rocus, who was venerated as a saint protecting against the plague, was added to the list of saints.

At the Remembrance Garden, located near the Knock Basilica, pilgrims can commemorate their loved ones in the tranquillity of the beautiful flower garden.
