After the torchlight procession, we were able to look at everyone's photos thanks to a card reader and laptop. Thanks to Wendy, Mac and Greg for sharing theirs. Above is a photo from yesterday afternoon's picnic which was followed by a game of rounders and then the Rosary at the Grotto. After the Rosary, I was allowed to bring the group of children closer for a blessing.
Yesterday was also an opportunity to catch up with Fr George of Blogging Lourdes. Sadly, he is soon to be leaving. At his blog, there is a series of posts about the altars in the Rosary basilica. It is a pity that smaller groups (or individual priests) are not allowed to use the beautiful altars for Mass.We have our Mass this morning in the St Gabriel Chapel and then a lunchtime departure for Toulouse airport and our flight home. Say a prayer for a safe journey.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us, Fr Tim. It has been a real blessing following it each day. We have prayed at Mass this morning for a safe journey home for your group.
Beautiful, Father! Do you go to Lourdes with your parish every year? More than once a year?

Many thanks, Bernadette.
Tupi - we go once a year, timing it with the summer half-term break so that families can come.
