A large number of people voted in the narrowed-down list and the following is the results.
The Hail Mary got 61% of the vote by attendees, while the Guardian Angel Prayer received 39%.
Soeaking to CatholicBishops.ie, Bishop Denis Nulty said: “Our visitors always appreciate gifts of blessed salt and wristbands, and our various wall displays. Despite so much activity at our stand, many people value a little quiet time too, in prayer.”
Bishop Nulty said that he was delighted and completely overwhelmed by the response to the poll.
