Lourdes Memoirs Booklet

Lourdes Memoirs

In preparation for our Centenary Pilgrimage to Lourdes Fr Franics has written a series of reflections on the Pilgrimage entitled A Child of the Domaine. There are a few copies available at the back of the church.

If you would like one then help yourself, but please do make a donation. This will go to the Pilgrimage Fund to help cover some of the costs in organising the pilgrimage—particularly for our sick pilgrims.
