Pilgrims on the Archdiocesan trip to Lourdes experienced the wonderful torchlight Marian procession last night (Sunday 8 July).

Youth volunteers had the privilege of carrying the statue of the Blessed Virgin Lady en route to the The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary where a prayer service was held as the sun set.

Earlier in the day pilgrims attended the International Mass in the 25,000-capacity Basilica of Saint Pius X, and then a Reconciliation service in The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. Watch a video of the day here (35 second watch).
