I belong to the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Betharram. Betharram is a small village and shrine to Our Lady about nine miles outside of Lourdes. Many people have heard of the Grottos of Betharram, but not so many about the shrine where our founder St Michael Garicoits brought our Congregation into being.

This is not a hymn, but it was written by Irving Berlin and taken from the film of the same name in 1942.

Redemptorist Publications is pleased to introduce Celebrate; an initiative designed to help children grow in their faith.
Each week we will provide a video of the week’s Gospel reading, a reflection and a final prayer. Fun, engaging and practical worksheets/ resources will also be provided to help children continue to practise their faith during this season.
Although Sunday Masses are now being celebrated in parish churches, Redemptorist Publications is pleased to continue to offer Sunday Mass online, especially for those who cannot yet return to their parish church.
We pray that this will enable the faithful to feel connected, to their faith and church community, during this difficult time.
