The Feast of the Assumption

On Friday, 15th August – The Feast of the Assumption – the Annual Devotions will take place at the Lee Road Shrine. The general public will assemble near Our Lady’s Hospital Gate before 6.30pm and march in procession to the Shrine reciting the 14 Mysteries of the Rosary on the way.
