Hello… Well, the whole group has been together in Lourdes for over 24 hours now. Owing to a few technical glitches, like the hotel wifi being a bit broken (we are currently sneakily using the wifi in another hotel – they sell good ice creams here too!) we haven’t uploaded any reports for a day or so. Fear not, however…

Starting later today, we will be inviting the Redshirts to write reports for the website to let you know what’s going on. In the meantime, though, here are a few photos uploaded by some of the leaders…

The Opening Mass…

One change this year for the Redshirts is that we are going to be providing gathering music and a communion reflection for each Mass. Our first outing today went very well indeed.
