Mahir Doman is Chaldean. He is 41 years old and lives close to Paris. Mahir is associated with the Notre-Dame de France movement. Just a few days ago, he did not know that he would be receiving the Icon of Czestochowa from the hands of the Irish. Mahir is from Turkey. He always wanted to be a priest, but just like for the holy Curé of Ars, Latin did not come easily to him. He had left one day earlier, on November 24 in the evening, from Paris to Cherbourg, where the ferry from Ireland was to arrive. He drove all night.

In Cork, the Icon was hosted for only 3 hours at St Augustine's church before leaving for France via Rosslare. The Icon was brought there at 9 am and left after 12 noon, but people had gathered since 7 am to pray while waiting for the arrival of Our Lady of Czestochowa. St Augustine's church, too, is the home of many Polish people. Mass was celebrated in English at 9:30 am.

Perhaps no other place needed the presence of the Travelling Icon more than Galway did... Only a few days after the international scandal caused by the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar had broken, the troubled city of Galway was providentially hosting Our Lady of Czestochowa coming as a Peaceful Pilgrim in defence of human life.
