The National Pilgrimage at the National Shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes, Carfin, will take place on Sunday 7 th September. As we are in the midst of the Jubilee Year the theme for this year’s Pilgrimage will be Pilgrims of Hope. Holy Mass will be celebrated at the Shrine at 3pm, the main Celebrant and Preacher being Archbishop Leo Cushley, of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh, who is celebrating his 40th Anniversary as a Priest.
Pope Leo XIV recently announced that Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, will be canonised on this day in Rome, so it seems an ideal day for the Scottish Catholic Community to come together to joyfully celebrate our faith in communion with Pope Leo and the Universal Church.
