Today in 1858 began a series of encounters between Bernadette Soubirous, a poor semi-literate French peasant girl and a 'beautiful lady'. The story has touched millions of lives ever since and it culminated in the moment when the lady said "I am the Immaculate Conception" In this parish we are marking this today with a special service of thanksgiving worship and praise, assisted by the St Margaret of Scotland Youth group. 7pm TONIGHT followed by food and rink in the hall. All welcome. If Lourdes is part of your memory and your journey, please share, spread the word and come and join us
