How the House of Prayer came about is a most beautiful story of the love of God for us His children. When Our Blessed Lady first expressed Her desire for a ‘little House of Prayer” Christina wondered how she, could ever procure a ‘House of Prayer’ but Our Lady told Christina that She desired the House, ‘through the generosity of the people’ This in itself from the outset was a great sign because no fundraising was ever planned or even considered, only the power of God’s Mother. Our Lady Herself, literally provided the House. It was She Herself who touched the hearts of Her children as She desired and they responded. Christina did not even know where the house would be located and when asked, Our Lady would only reply “The House that God has chosen will be.” Eventually Christina visited a convent in Achill Sound when it came up for sale and experienced there a deep feeling of inner peace. She knew that this was to be the place.

When she sought ecclesiastical permission from the local ordinary, Archbishop Joseph Cassidy carefully considered her request which, Christina emphasised, she desired to have fulfilled only in complete conformity with and in total obedience towards the Church. He himself gave “not only permission but his blessing” and offically dedicated it to Our Lady Queen of Peace on 16th July 1993. Our Lady spoke only days after the dedication saying that Her children “desire peace, but they do not recognise the treasure I have placed in their midst. Their hearts are set on the things of the world and are closed to the graces I desire to give”.

Renovations to the House of Prayer

Back in 1992 when Christina asked Our Lady why so many troubles came to her with the House of Prayer, Our Lady gave her a very direct answer. “Dear child, you know the House of Prayer is like a war being prepared against the Evil One and he wants to destroy it and you, and all my little ones, but you remain steadfast in prayer and love. You have the weapons, use them.”

During the renovation Christina was mysteriously given knowledge of which parts of the building needed to be replaced . Helpers were then amazed to find upon uncovering

walls, floors etc that she had precisely located areas of widespread dry rot, fungus and dampness. The obstacles to the work of renovation seemed endless and insurmountable. So much had to be stripped away and renewed yet this was all explained to Christina.

On December 21st 1992, Our Lady, in a very tender way showed her how God would use the House as a means of protection. She just appeared, opened her hands and there flew out so many little chicks and Our Lady looked joyously at them. This scene evokes the words of Christ when He wept for the suffering coming to Jerusalem for its rejection of the Saviour and its blindness in not recognising the time of its visitation. Jesus lamented the reistance of its people for He would have gathered them together “as a hen gathers her chicks” but the people refused. The scene stresses, it would seem, God’s protection in the coming purification for those who, in responding to ‘His Call through His Mother’ agree to come under ’His Wing’.

Renovation of House of Prayer

After the building was purchased it was found that extensive repairs and renovations were necessary with partial rebuilding and because of dampness and dry rot re-roofing re-wiring and re-heating work was needed. ©Copyright

Dedication & Opening of The House of Prayer Achill

In July 1993 Our Lady Queen of Peace House of Prayer at Achill Sound, Co Mayo opened – in fulfillment of the August 1991 request by Our Lady, through Christina Gallagher, for a "little house of prayer”. It opened to the public for a special public Day of Prayer on Saturday July 17, 1993 following the dedication and opening by Archbishop Dr Joseph Cassidy on 16 July. This former convent building which Our Lady indicated "God has chosen" was purchased less than twelve months previousely, after it became clear to Mrs Gallagher during 1992 that there was an urgency about the request for a House of Prayer, and she came to realise that the former convent building at Achill was to be used. After the building was purchased it was found that extensive repairs and renovations were necessary with partial rebuilding and because of dampness and dry rot re-roofing re-wiring and re-heating work was needed.

The Anniversary of the opening has since been an annual day of special celebration in prayer. In 2013, people are coming in their highest number for years, many stating that they are now beginning to realise the truth of the messages from Our Blessed Lady through Christina Gallagher, as they see the prophesies fulfilled in the world around them.
