WORLD DAY OF THE SICK
WORLD DAY OF THE SICK February 11 was World Day of the Sick, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Society of Our Lady of Lourdes (SOLL) are pleased to announce that their annual pilgrimage of the sick to Lourdes will be on the 24-31 May 2019. SOLL seeks to ensure that sick pilgrims are offered an opportunity to travel to Lourdes, minimising barriers of disability and finance. Applications are now open. Please think if there is someone in the parish who SOLL can help. Applications are also welcomed for volunteer helpers, carers, nurses, doctors and priests. For further information, please contact SOLL on 0208 8489833 or www.soll-lourdes.com or call your parish contact, Sacha on 07768 622880. There are bookmarks made up with prayers for the sick and for the caregivers, at the back of all churches for all but especially the Extraordinary Ministers to share them with the housebound.
