Carfin Grotto will host the relics of St Bernadette from 24th September until 2nd October 2022 – the only Scottish venue to receive the relics. This will coincide with the centenary of the Grotto on 2nd October. I am hopeful also that all the bishops of Scotland along with the Papal Nuncio will celebrate the centenary with us. I asked the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland to formally and officially declare the Grotto to be ‘The National Marian Shrine of Scotland’. They will do so at the centenary Mass.
