Carfin Grotto 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. 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.
