We are planning a day trip to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in West Grinstead on Wednesday the 18th September. We would aim to leave St. Raphael’s by 10.00am to arrive at the shrine in time for exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 11.30am followed by Mass at 12.00noon. Please bring a packed lunch, drinks will be provided by the church. The Shrine asks each pilgrim to contribute £5 towards the upkeep of the shrine. We would be pleased to have some idea of numbers, when we have firm numbers, we can decide on the transport for the day. (Please see the ‘tear off slip’ at the bottom of the newsletter).
