St Mary’s Parents Association

Let’s walk together during Lent, you can log your steps on here and challenge yourself, whilst taking a moment to reflect on this religious time.
Lourdes is a town in southwestern France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains. It’s known for the Sanctuaires Notre-Dame de Lourdes, or the Domain, a major Catholic pilgrimage site. Each year, millions visit the Grotto of Massabielle (Grotto of the Apparitions) where, in 1858, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a local woman. In the grotto, pilgrims can drink or bathe in water flowing from a spring.

All funds raised will go to the St Mary’s Sports Pitch Fund, with a donation given to Christchurch Eltham for their Easter flowers.
