11^th February is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Every year, many ill pilgrims visit Lourdes in the hope of being healed or strengthened. Some miracles of healing have taken place at Lourdes and all pilgrims are strengthened in their faith by their time spent there.

At Mass, we pray for those of our Parish and our families who are sick and at the end of Mass, Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion take the Blessed Sacrament to the sick and housebound of our Parish.

We pray for all those who are sick in mind and body and remember all those who care for them.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
