Day five, our last full day in Lourdes, is always an important one. We began with some souvenir shopping and the heading to our last Mass, and saying goodbye to Fr Martin. We took our group candle from Mass, past the grotto, before lighting it, along with our personal candles. Our prayers will continue and remain in Lourdes long after we have left.
We then headed to the Crowned Virgin statue to pray the Hail Mary three times in the hope of returning to Lourdes one day.
After lunch some of the group went to the baths. We then reconvened as a whole group for a highlight of the week, Le Petit Train! This road-train takes us around the sights, and back streets (!) of Lourdes. We sang very loudly, and Nick even took his trumpet this year!
After a little packing we then headed to the 'party room' in the Hotel St Rose for our joint talent show, "206 Has Talent", with TBG. There was a great selection of acts before everyone got their awards for the week. DJ Ben then took over and there was even more dancing before a final night prayer.
We leave tomorrow at 11am...
