Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes: A message from Fr Greg Tobin: In this Jubilee Year of Mercy why not come this year on the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes? The dates are 11-16th July and there are options for travel and accommodation. Booking forms are available at the back of Church or ask at the parish office, or they can be obtained from ; or from Fr Simon Gillespie. Bishop Patrick will lead our pilgrimage, which will include our own Mass in the Grotto, a visit to the Baths, processions and passage through the Holy Door of Mercy. There is a chartered flight from East Midlands Airport, or an overland coach journey which includes transfers and insurance. Lourdes is the perfect tonic for restoring your faith in humanity and Church. If I didn’t think it would do you good, I wouldn’t bother inviting you! Bursaries are available for the sick, and young people, where needed; health care professionals are very much encouraged to come along too, and bursaries are available. I look forward to welcoming you all to Lourdes in the summer! Fr Greg
