L'Equipe de Gars* prepare for the Feast of the Assumption

The Mass for the Feast of the Assumption is traditionally held at the Grotte de Notre Dame. Folk come every year from hither, thither and yon to mark the Feast Day and enjoy Mass in this place of solace, prayer, affirmation and beauty. * Les Gars...approximately 20+ boys of all ages, including R, have already spent a day trimming, pruning, cleaning and generally sprucing up the area during recent days. Les Dames have cleaned the Grotte itself, removing, washing and replacing all the plaques that bear witness to faith and giving thanks for blessings received.

You should all be very proud...it looks beautiful & a lovely place to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption...many blessings on you all...I wish I could be there we haven’t had mass in our church since March. 😨

We're fortunate! Paimpont has Père Fernand in residence...and we have a 9am Mass Tuesdays and Thursdays and a Vigil Mass on Saturday evenings throughout the Summer Season. Think many visitors from France...and way beyond! Most affirming.

@s4sayer Lovely Margo, our priest looks after three parishes but I dint think any of them are saying Mass. it’s not as if we are packed out with parishioners, we could easy practice social distance! It’s not good.

A special place to sit and meditate and pray. I would think that the seating is a bit close together for this time in our lives.

Missed your visit - I was still at the Abbey loading up all the essentials for the mass to take place.
