When I was doing the temp job from Hell nearby, I would spend my lunchtimes eating my Design A Sandwich on the steps of one of the doorways facing out into St Anne's Sq, quietly regaining my patience for life, before heading back to the office. It's a great spot for people watching, as you're sort of tucked away. Plus, it gets nice and warm in the summer with the sun shining on it all day. So, there's my review of this lovely church. Now you've got it all. Elliot's told you about the music, Sarah-Jane let you know about prayer times, and me, well I just gave you another option for your lunch break.

Just like everyone else who has reviewed St Ann's Church, my appreciation of this great church is…read morepurely architectural.

Its just a concrete box with a tiny bit of old concrete by it the middle of a massive expanse of grass and nothingness. If you fly to Knock, I promise that you'll feel exactly the same. That is, if you know nothing, like me. Because actually Knock, I discovered, is home to a very important Catholic shrine. That is why the airport got built. Thousands now fly on pilgrimage to Knock every year. In fact, it's so famous that there is a Knock shrine gift and bookshop in Manchester! Opened in order to serve the significant Irish community in our city, the bookshop sells relevant reading material, cards and trinkets, as well as organising pilgrimages and trips to the shrine over in Knock. The lovely lady in the shop was delightful and explained so much of this to me. Bizarre, but very interesting!

A store devoted entirely to the shrine of knock??!?! Where have you been all my life. Knock is a…read morespot in Ireland where an apparition (appearance of god, kind of) occurred. 15 people witnessed it, this event was given the Vatican seal of approval in 1992 and since and still is a busy site for pilgrimage.
