Our pilgrims from Clane and Rathcoffey joined the group of over 1200 from many parishes in the Diocese, travelling out to Lourdes last Sunday in the company of Bishop Denis for the first Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes with Fr Denis as our group leader. We wish them all well, and keep them in our prayers, as they do the same for us! Our youngest pilgrim certainly seems to be enjoying himself!
