I’ve recently had an e-mail from Canon Tom Shields saying that he would like to arrange, if there is enough genuine interest, a pilgrimage to Spain, to the Shrine of St. James, in 2024. He has very kindly asked me to sound out parishioners here and see if there is any interest. Once he knows how many might like to go he can then give an idea of costs. The pilgrimage would be in late July 2024 to coincide with the Apostle’s Feast Day.

If you are seriously interested please send me an email as soon as possible to stjames@dunkelddiocese.org.uk with the title “Pilgrimage to Compostela” and therein please indicate who is interested in going (names), and contact details for each person (address, e-mail address, and contact phone number).

Thanks & God bless,

Fr. Martin

Confessions will be available on Saturday morning in St. James’ from 9.30a.m. and in Our Lady of Lourdes from 4.15p.m. on Saturday for those who may have missed the Holyday of Obligation (29th June) through their own fault and need to celebrate the Lord’s mercy before receiving Him again in Holy Communion.
