National Pilgrimage to Carfin Grotto…
In today’s Gospel , Jesus said , “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”…
That was a bit like our bus today…
Thankfully , the Grotto was busy with pilgrims from all over Scotland , coming together to celebrate Mass and commemorating the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi .
It was a glorious day in Carfin and a lovely Mass ☀️⛪️🙏
