Day two of our Lourdes pilgrimage began bright and early with a 6:00 AM wake-up call, but the energy and excitement among our group made the early start entirely worth it.
Our morning began with a deeply moving Mass at the Holy Grotto. Our girls from Presentation Secondary School, Castleisland, had the immense privilege and honour of leading the opening procession down to the Grotto. They did us all proud, holding the Kerry flags to represent our home county on this international stage.
The Mass itself was a truly unforgettable celebration, concelebrated by our Bishop alongside many other priests, setting a profound and spiritual tone for the rest of our day.
Following lunch, we returned to the Sanctuary to experience the passage through the Grotto, walking in the footsteps of St. Bernadette and taking a moment for personal prayer and reflection in the heart of this sacred site.
It was an incredibly busy, spiritually rich, and fulfilling day for our students. We look forward to seeing what blessings the rest of the pilgrimage brings!
