Commissioning and Farewell
The parish presented a Pilgrim Cross to Paddy to be worn on the pilgrimage
During a Farewell liturgy in St Mary's side chapel
Prayers of the heart to be carried by Paddy to the Shrine of Montserrat were ritually place in a basket on the altar.
St Mary's School also prayed blessing on Fr Paddy and 'loaded' his backpack with prayers and desires of the heart to be prayed on pilgrimage and deposited at the Shrine of the 'Black Madonna'.
Blessings as you begin your pilgrimage.
