Day 3 Online Pilgrimage: Morning Prayer with Frankie MacDonald

Sunday 19 September 2021

Thank you for joining us for our morning reflection and Day 3 of our pilgrimage.

Frankie reflects this morning about how we journey to Lourdes has changed over the years, since 138 years ago in 1883, when the Oblate Pilgrimage began. Boat, ship, train, plane. The means of travel has changed so much but the motive of travel hasn’t. We meet to honour God and ask for the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes, for the catch up, and top help one another experience the message of Lourdes to the fullest extent, renew friendships and make new ones.
