In Victoria, as well as the annual Lourdes Day Mass held on the first Saturday of December at St Patrick’s Cathedral, members of the Order hold Lourdes Masses at various Catholic aged care centres throughout the year.
On Wednesday, 16th August a Lourdes Mass was held at the Assisi Centre in Rosanna which has 150 residents of Italian background. Mass was celebrated by Bishop Terry Curtin, a chaplain of the Order.
The Mass was attended by over 100 residents and all attendees received a gift pack comprising a small bottle of Lourdes water, rosary beads and prayer cards.
At the conclusion of Mass Bishop Curtin blessed Piazza San Francesco, a small piazza which was fitted out by the Assisi Centre’s Womens Committee and which will serve as a gathering place for the residents and their families.
