Day 9: Paris

This morning Pilgrim's headed to Mass at Sacred Heart Basilica at Montmartre. The group had the crypt to itself for the 10am Mass. The Pilgrim's reflected on the memory of Cardinal Guilbert OMI [c1870] who raised the money to build the basilica. The Cardinal was also one of the first Oblates in the congregation. After Mass the Solemn high Mass was starting on the main altar. There were at least 10 priests and 15 altar servers with incense and the most heavenly music. Fr Paul was inspired with some ideas for Burpengary!!!
After a light lunch and some shopping in the little village behind the Basilica the pilgrims headed to the Eiffel Tower. The view of Paris from the Tower is amazing.
Tomorrow is a free day for the pilgrims.
