World Day Of The Sick

Tomorrow Monday 11th February is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. On this day in 1858, 150 years ago this year, Our Lady first appeared to the 14 year old Bernadette Soubirous. Later Bernadette was to learn that the mysterious lady was the Blessed Virgin and to hear from her lips, ‘I am the Immaculate Conception.’

In 1992 Pope John Paul II instituted the World Day of the Sick to be held on the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes.

We pray for all the sick of our parish, those at home and in hospital.
