The sun is shining down on the group of Parishioners, Priests and Seminarians all led by Bishop Philip Egan on this year’s Diocese pilgrimage to Lourdes. Having flown direct from Bournemouth Airport the group arrived safely at their hotel and have already participated in many services and processions. They also visited the sacred Grotto to light candles and pray for the Diocese intentions.
We wish them safe travels and pray that they enjoy the week ahead.
