Diocesan Pilgrimage Sunday 26 June 2022
Sunday 26 June saw a happy resumption, after a three year break, of the annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Pluscarden. Perhaps because of this gap imposed by covid restrictions, or maybe in spite of it? the pilgrims came in great numbers. It was lovely to see so many, including lots of children and young people, and good representation from our Polish, Indian and Nigerian Catholic communities. The weather remained kind, so plenty of people were able to picnic in our grounds before the Mass, with the opportunity also for confession, or for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the Lady Chapel.
