Catenian pilgrimage to Fatima

Brother GP David Rowley and Eileen led a very successful pilgrimage of just under 100 people to the shrine at Fatima.  This year is the centenary of the Blessed Virgin's apparitions to the three children in this small town in the centre of Portugal.  A small chapel has been built at the site of the apparitions and can be seen slightly to the left of centre.  We were very fortunate to be able to attend Mass in the chapel celebrated by our spiritual director, Fr Stephen Wright (David and Eileen's parish priest).
