Parish Pilgrimages
Assisi & Rome 14th-21st October 2019
In conjunction with Alba Tours, 46 pilgrims took part in our parish pilgrimage to Assisi & Rome. Our journey was documented on our social media pages in order to share with the parish community our closeness in prayer and give a flavour of our experiences. A few more images are given below.

Salamanca 2018:
Pilgrimage is a journey made in faith to appreciate and deepen the faith we have. Setting off on Sunday 14th October from Cardonald, we sadly lost faith in our airline with an almost six hour delay on our flight from Glasgow to Madrid. Spirits, however, remained high as our excitement to reach Salamanca (a further 3 hour bus journey from Madrid) was palpable. A group of 19, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Scots College and the hospitality of the College staff: Fr. Tom Kilbride (Rector) and Fr. Stuart Chalmers (Spiritual Director). The opportunity to visit the elegant town of Salamanca and appreciate Spanish culture was particularly special, as were our trips to Avila and Alba de Tormes to venerate St. Teresa of Jesus and to Segovia where we celebrated Mass at the tomb of St. John of the Cross. Our prayers were very much with our parish community and those who had asked to be remembered. A few photographs below.

Of course, in recent memory, many parishioners took part in a pilgrimage to Lourdes in celebration of the parish’s centenary celebrations (2006). Perhaps these might jog a few memories?
