AVE MARIA !
Annual Pilgrimage of the CMI in
Scotland
The 5th Annual pilgrimage of the CMI (Crusade of Mary Immaculate) in Scotland took place on 18th August at Scotland's National Marian Shrine at Carfin near Motherwell. |
|
Over 150 pilgrims attended: some came from Newcastle in the North of England. |
 |
|
The Celebrant of the Mass was Fr. Paul Clarke, OFM Conv. who is the National Director of the Crusade and is based in Manchester. |
 |
The congregation were reminded of the great love and devotion that St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe had for Our Blessed Mother - the Immaculata. |
He was martyred 60 years ago in Auschwitz on the eve of the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He gave his life to save another. |
|
| At the end of Mass the people were blessed with a relic of St. Maximilian by Fr.Paul |
After the Mass there was a rosary procession within the church. |
|
Due to the inclement weather the pilgrims were unable to process around the beautiful grounds and Grotto at Carfin. |
|
The pilgrims will meet again at Carfin on 17th August,2002, when the Crusade will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in Great Britain. |
