It is now less and one month until this year's National Pilgrimage to Carfin Grotto. This year's pilgrimage will be extra special as our Nation will be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on this day.

Please take note of the full itinerary below and make a special effort to join with the Bishops, Priests and lay from across Scotland at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.

The Pilgrimage Mass with Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary will take place on Sunday 3rd September at 3.00pm in the Grotto with Arcbishop Philip Tartaglia as Principal Celebrant and Bishop Brian McGhee as Homilist.

Father McGachey, the Guardian of the Grotto, also extends a warm welcome to all to join a Vigil in preparation for the Consecration on the evening before, beginning with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 7.00pm and ending with Benediction at 10.30pm. The Rosary and Fatima Jubilee prayers will be recited throughout the evening.
