The week of Masses, Benedictions and talks from Martina Davidson, Andrea Corr, Fr. John Joe Duffy, Fr. Colum Clerkin, Cora Sherlock, Sister Elena from the Home of the Mother, and Bishop Dónal McKeown, drew large congregations.
It demonstrated the esteem in which Sister Clare, who was just 33 when she died in an earthquake in Ecuador in April 16, 2016, was held.
Here is a selection of photographs from the 2023 event.
