St Bernadette’s Relics Pilgrimage to Cork and Ross

For the first time, the Relics of St Bernadette are visiting Ireland, and we will have the privilege of welcoming them to the Diocese of Cork and Ross at the end of this month. The Diocese have put a full programme together to try and recreate something of the experience that Lourdes offers here at home. The Relics will be displayed in the Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne (North Cathedral) on Wednesday October 30^th from 4pm. A list of times is available on the notice board and there is also a takeaway card with these details, available on the altar rails. Full programme of events available on the Diocesan website, www.corkandross.org.
