THE PILGRIMAGE COMES TO AN END

After a short train journey from Paris on the Eurostar we arrived in London yesterday. Pilgrims spent the afternoon looking around London. St Eugene came to London and England several times. He supported his brother Oblates in their mission. The English Catholic Church was small and slowly growing after Catholic emancipation in 1820. On Wednesday the pilgrims travelled to Kilburn where they had Mass at the Oblate parish of Sacred Heart. After Mass some of the pilgrims visited St Eugene de Mazenod Primary school next door to the Church. Fr Paul, Cathy, Shak, Dal, Melissa, Cheryl and Rob visited another famous land mark in the afternoon: Buckingham Palace. You may have thought the Queen would welcome us personally! No. She was nowhere to be seen... but she has a lovely house.
Pilgrims start to head back to Australia tomorrow... But you won't see Fr Paul for a few more weeks.
