House of Prayer - Disowned by the Bishop
The Irish Independent Reports:
The controversial House of Prayer has been disowned by the Catholic hierarchy and has no standing in the eyes of the Church.
In a hard-hitting statement, the Archbishop of Tuam Michael Neary said the House of Prayer “has no Church approval and their work does not enjoy the confidence of the diocesan authorities”.
He said that celebration of the sacraments at the House of Prayer was not permitted.
The House of Prayer was founded on Achill Island by Mayo woman Christina Gallagher after she claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary in 1988.
Mrs Gallagher claims to receive regular messages from the Virgin Mary and to suffer from unexplained stigmata.
However, Mrs Gallagher has become the focus of a number of reports in the Sunday World newspaper, which published details of her considerable wealth, her multi-million euro property portfolio, and use of luxury cars.
