On Sunday 23rd May we were blessed with clear weather in the afternoon to have our annual May Pilgrimage to honour our Blessed Mother at the Schoenstatt Shrine in Mt Richon WA, with 135 people attending. Father Mark from St Francis Xavier Parish, Hilbert, led our Rosary Procession along with other people leading each decade of the rosary.
Our theme for the day was “Mary with St Joseph sanctify our Family!” Beautiful reflections about St Joseph, Mary and the Holy Family were also read along with lovely hymns led by two young ladies, a guitarist and an organist. Many people also brought flowers for our Blessed Mother.
Thirteen new Co-ordinators were commissioned into the Pilgrim Mother Apostolate from various parishes, as well as many others being recommissioned to go out with their Pilgrim Mother Shrines to share with their circles. Father Mark blessed all the Shrines. He then followed this with Benediction and a blessing for all.
Afternoon tea was held down at Emilie house during which the skies opened up and the rain came pouring down. Everyone was very happy that the afternoon program was able to happen without any problems and felt truly blessed to be there.
