A warm welcome to Father Paddy of the Xaverian Order who is kindly saying our Sunday Masses this weekend during my time in Lourdes. There will be a retiring collection for their work. More information about the work of Father Paddy’s order can be found here Xaverian Missionaries UK – "Make Of The World One Family". Father Maurice Pearce will be covering the weekday Masses

for the next two weeks; next Sunday the Masses will be celebrated by Canon Eugine McGillycuddy.

I am very grateful to my brother priests for their help
