Sunday 14th of July to Friday 19th of July, 2019
We shall be travelling once more by air and by train, with Tangney Tours, to Lourdes, being led there by the Bishop himself. The Lourdes theme chosen for this year is ‘Blessed are the poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.‘ More information in the documents attached. As the flyer says, the last January 7th was the 175th anniversary of the birth of the visionary of Lourdes, S. Bernadette, and, on April the 16th, ‘we will commemorate the 140th anniversary of her death. During her life, Bernadette experienced all kinds of poverty; physical, material, intellectual, social. She was also very much misunderstood. Our Lady said to Bernadette “I can’t promise to make you happy in this world, but I can in the next.”’
