The expectation this year is heavier.
will be gone almost 14 months when it will go up on that train last diocesan pilgrimage.
Of course I know many of you attend Lourdes on other occasions (internship - February 11) but in fact for many the wait will be longer.

not arranged when a pilgrimage by bus and if we do it at the last minute decide when and if we are certain you have reached the attendance of the train that is imposed on us ...
Registration for the Pilgrimage are open right now at the headquarters of ophthalmic Via Lanza 46, every morning between 9 and 12 (tf. 0142.55681). The term of the closing of Registration for the pilgrimage has been set for Friday, May 6 . This year, attracting large numbers of entries to the deadline as we will have to be on the plane on the train somewhere in less than last year, so you must make time for questions. I ask you right now do not delay to send in applications for registration to give us an opportunity to identify as early as possible as many or as few ... we ... we are at the foot of the Virgin to thank you, to pray, to ask again for help.
To be more precise the Railways have increased by about 10% of the cost of the ticket. Per evitare che un incremento tale toccasse le nostre tasche in modo – lasciatemi dire - così violento… si è ragionato sulla possibilità di variare le composizioni delle ram ferroviarie che da quest’anno saranno con 10 carrozze più i due bagagliai. Quindi con una carrozza in meno rispetto al recente passato. Tutte le vetture saranno “cuccette”.
Questo elemento ci aiuta nel raggiungimento della frequentazione e apre eventualmente alla possibilità prima accennata del pullman...
Anche in aereo qualche posto in meno… 100 posti a disposizione… quindi chi prima si iscrive trova posto… e diversi posti in questi primi giorni have already been booked.
Chapter prices. When all the necessary information. Compared allos year course the odds are increased by an average of € 12 compared to last year.
Our sick (or remember, pilgrims d'accueil) will be hosted this year Hôpital Saint Frai, departments dedicated to St. Elizabeth and St. Benedict at 1 and 2 ^ ^ plan.
The ambulance will be required but there is no certainty that you can get. This year we will be in Lourdes with ophthalmic Milan, while ophthalmic Alexandria - who initially asked for our period - already come and we'll be returning. With 3 ophthalmic coontemporanei pilgrimages, as well as Unitalsi Triveneta Unitalsi Calabrese and we do not have too many guarantees to have the ambulance ....
Being a pilgrimage to Milan will be more opportunity to make new friends, to live together some highlights of the pilgrimage which the torchlight procession, the procession of the Eucharist and the Mass the Grotto, and of course to put international.
Our bishop, Bishop Alceste Catella, at the last meeting to meeting national Trino asked to value and improve as much as possible the penitential celebration, so far sparse and long. It is designed in accordance with ophthalmic Milan to double the number of priests in this function, reciprocal exchange. This is a small example of what we wanted to build together.
The planning is very similar to that of last year and was approved by the sanctuary as we proposed.

We note also the new last pilgrimage, the uniform of the ambulance. With the split was more easy to help, cooperate, understand who needed ...
This year we urge those who have bought the currency to do so. We will also sell the polo shirts short sleeve - essential for the month of June, when we are on pilgrimage ...
We are also organizing - in preparation for the pilgrimage - the training course aimed at staff, scheduled in the evenings. We will discuss the theme of the Our Father we will develop in Lourdes, we will remember our founder Bishop Rastelli that 100 years ago, suffering an accident was enlightened on the possibility of visiting the shrine of Lourdes. Next year the ophthalmic will also propose a "special pilgrimage" to celebrate the first Bishop of pilgrimage in Lourdes with the sick Rastelli (which is healed again ...).
But someone can not leave and take the train ... to them the invitation to participate in the Spiritual Pilgrimage that offers the ideal opportunity to pray before the grotto of Lourdes ... from home, you live at a distance, the Pilgrimage in prayer and in line with those at Lourdes. This year's Spiritual Pellgrinaggio will have a program similar to qeullo proposed last year.
