Lourdes 2012
A Lourdes Departure Mass will be held at Saint Anthony, Onchan on Tuesday evening (17
th July) at 7.30pm. If the weather is kind to us we will use the Grotto itself.
Farewell to our pilgrims to Lourdes who are travelling towards the end of this week – we wish them a safe journey and a time of spiritual nourishment at the Shrine of our Blessed Lady. Renewed thanks to all who have worked so hard to enable our pilgrims to make this journey – I’m sure they will remember us all in their prayer.

8.00 am: Early Morning Mass.
