Our Marian Pilgrimage to Lourdes, Santiago and Fatima is fast approaching.  As we have done in the past, we will take any personal intentions you wish to send with us.  Each day during our celebration of the Eucharist the “treasure box” full of your intentions will be placed on the Altar and included in our prayers for the day. Please write your note on a small slip of paper and place it in the treasure box on the Altar of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.  We will carry the intentions with us on the pilgrimage.  Even though you may not be with us physically, your spiritual presence will be felt.
