Once again we are busy with the preparation and planning for the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes in May. This year we are delighted that the pilgrimage will be led by our new Archbishop who is most supportive of our mission and invites the people of the Diocese to join him in what is considered a wonderful event in the Diocesan calendar.
