RELICS OF ST BERNADETTE TO VISIT CARFIN

It has now been confirmed that Carfin Grotto will host

the relics of St Bernadette from 24th September until

2nd October 2022, the only Scottish venue to receive

the relics. This will coincide with the centenary of the

Grotto on 2nd October. I am hopeful also that all the

bishops of Scotland along with the Papal Nuncio will

celebrate the centenary with us. I asked the Bishops’

Conference of Scotland to formally and officially de-

clare the Grotto to be‘The National Marian Shrine of

Scotland’.They will do so at the centenary Mass.
