PILGRIMAGE TO DROGHEDA









On Sunday 1st July we travelled to Drogheda, Co Louth for the National Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St Oliver Plunkett in St Peter's Church.


The day started at 2.00pm at St Patrick's in Dundalk with a prayer before we all got on the bus. We arrived at the Lourdes Church in Drogheda for the procession which began at 3.00pm, processing to St Peter's for Mass at 4.00pm.


On our return journey, we stopped at the Papal Cross at Kilineer, just north of Drogheda, to say a prayer for peace & reconcilation. The Cross is in commemoration of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Kilineer in 1979.
