Sunday, September 7, 2025The National Pilgrimage at the National Shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes, Carfin, will take place on Sunday 7th September.
As we are in the midst of the Jubilee Year, the theme for this year’s Pilgrimage will be Pilgrims of Hope. Holy Mass will be celebrated at the Shrine at the revised time of 3:15pm, the main Celebrant and Preacher being the Most Reverend Leo Cushley, Archbishop of Saint Andrew’s and Edinburgh, who is celebrating his 40th anniversary as a priest this year.
Our new Pope, Leo XIV, recently announced that Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, will be canonised on this day in Rome, so it seems an ideal day for the Scottish Catholic Community to come together to joyfully celebrate our faith in communion with Pope Leo and the Universal Church.
